"I don't play bad cards when everyone limps. Not enough money involved. If someone raises, then I'm definitely playing." [/ QUOTE ] shh... you weren't supposed to tell anyone that I said that! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] all - wanna read a book filled of bad table advice? Try "No Fold'em Hold'em" - how to play any two cards in a limit game, and send the rocks to the bar. The author was a prop at Commerce, his books are for sale in California and also at the Vegas gambling haunts. Brett's post reminded me of a line from that book.. its hysterical how some people rationalize their behavior.

Re: The Worst Strategy You\'ve Overheard at a Table
If you'll notice most of this "advice" is a way of justifying how most people like to play, loose and passive.
It also seeks to find a way to avoid bad beats, which upset people the most in poker. People are silly animals.

Re: The Worst Strategy You\'ve Overheard at a Table
Last September while railing the $330 at the Wynn - I think the blinds where 50/300/600...
Short stacked dude in UTG+1 - been raising all-in the 3 hands in a row. Raises all in again - folds around to SB who also folds - Dude proceeds to flash an Ace with BB still to act. Floor gets called and he rules show 1 show show both. Dude shows AJ offsuit. BB hums & haws - says he doesn't know what to do because he has the same hand. I don't remember the suits but they shared 1 suit with the BB having the best of it. BB then proceeds to fold - NO LIE

Re: The Worst Strategy You\'ve Overheard at a Table
Harrahs New Orleans 4-8 game. 8 way preflop capped. Flop was 55Q. 5 way capped. Turn was 2. 5 way capped. River is a Q. Now board reads QQ552. A lady who has just been calling all the way comes out betting. Everyone folds to a guy on the other end of the table who raises. The lady who doesnt realize she had been raised turns her cards face up showing a Q. The dealer tells her she has been raised, and with cards still face up says "I raise again." The guy who raised stands up, looks to her end of the table, sees the queen and says "Oh my God, shes got the queen. I call." Then he shows a five. WTF?! Someone asks him "You see that youre beat and you still call." Guy looks at other guy like he's an idiot and says "Never fold a full house."
Harrahs New Orleans 6-12 game. Big pot. Club hits on the river making three clubs on board. First guy bets, second guy raises, five callers. Original bettor just calls and turns up nut flush. I say why didnt you reraise. He says "Are you crazy? I dont know what they couldve had. I figured at least one of them had a straight." Harrahs New Orleans is priceless. You wouldnt believe ppl like this actually existed.
