Re: The Worst Strategy You\'ve Overheard at a Table
I would like to nominate my own comments in a free bar tourney last night. I called a min raised of 2k in the bb with Q10o. flop 567. I check and gal goes all in. She only had 1600 left so I call.
she turns over JJ turn 4 river 8. "You and I were meant to share baby" I grabbed her clenched fist and shook it. HOW COULD YOU CALL ME WITH THAT? "you shouldn't have tried to bluff me with so few chips left." BLUFF?! I HAD JACKS "It was totally obvious you didn't get a piece of that flop."

At a 1/2 NL game, a guy with about $60 raises to $14. Another guy who had limped reraised him all-in. The initial raiser folds, and the 3-bettor shows AQs. The first guy mutters that he's the worst player in the world and he had AK. I tried to explain to him why that spot is an insta-call (AK dominates or flips with every hand but KK-AA; his stack is so tiny he's already committed; there's money already in so a flip is profitable, etc.), but all I could get in response was "I don't want to take a flip for my whole stack". *shrug* Guy busted out a few hands later, unsurprisingly.

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.

If going to the river, I might decide beforehand to bet and call a re-raise. I will then go ahead and donate the call in a case like this, and not take advantage of a bad player's mistake, in order to keep the game friendly.

Re: The Worst Strategy You\'ve Overheard at a Table
Everyone where I work thinks the "computer hand" Q7o, was proven to be the best hand in hold'em by the use of computers. I don't bother to tell them it was shown that at a full table, if everyone played to the end everytime, Q7 is the median hand.
