Re: The Worst Strategy You\'ve Overheard at a Table
This is my personal fav from a $500 restricted buy-in NL game -
It involved a player I was in a pot with who turned a straight flush against my A-high flush on a Jc7h10hJh5c board - he managed to keep the pot as small as possible (driven in part by his oscar winning performance after the turn), leaving a significant amount of money on the table.
When I saw his hand, I commented half-joking, half-serious that it's completely inexcusable that I had any money left after that hand.
He responded in a totally serious tone - "I didn't want to bet out more because I was afraid you'd fold quads."
(?!?)
On a high hand jackpot table no less - if I had quads, we would have split a $100,000 jackpot (quads beaten).
The entire table was in hysterics after that comment. Good times.
