[ QUOTE ] Idk if anyone has mentioned this one yet, but Phil Helmuth's gem, "AKo is better than AKs because you can make a flush with either suit" [/ QUOTE ] For those who don't know, Phil has retracted this opinion (after a night of getting buried, running them hot and cold for cash). [/ QUOTE ] i heard that he made a bet against someone (Doyle?), and ran AKo vs AKs a bunch of times. After losing a chunk, he learnt his lesson.

Re: The Worst Strategy You\'ve Overheard at a Table
ROF! Amazing thread. I've been told before at the casino by the old fogeys who have played the game for 50-60 years and still can't play good that it is impolite to be bluffing. I just kinda laugh and ignore the idiocy.
Also, about a month ago at the casino I overheard a guy rambling about poker before the start of a donkament. He said something like, "mate, if i ever have an open ender on the flop or turn there is no chance i'm folding that". I almost piped up and told him he's an idiot, but I think it is better for the fishies to learn the hard way.

On a high hand jackpot table no less [/ QUOTE ] Tony thats why- because he was afraid of not hitting the jackpot. I've seen people check the whole way down including last to act on the river with AK on an AAAxx board because they were afraid someone would fold 1010+ and in your case he probably didn't realize that the only hand beating JJJJ is a two card SF so you can't lose wiht quads. I've heard so many retarded things at the table but one that I remember right now although not really strategy related: The WSOP or some poker show was on tv and it was an all-in preflop hand AA vs some other pocket pair and the guy next to me looks at the percentages and was like OH MY GOD... i ALWAYS thought AA vs an underpair was a 4-1 favorite... Me: yea it is... Him: no look it says 80% 20%... Me: yea... 4to1 him: no I really though it was FOUR to one. then he rolls his eyes and looks at me like i'm dumber than he originally thought. Magoo: I always hope for the miracle cards

Re: The Worst Strategy You\'ve Overheard at a Table
I had a guy at work tell me he plays low cards if he's seen low cards being dealt often lately. I tried to tell him they are dealt randomly. He answered, "Well it works for me."
A donk to my right in a tourney called a standard raise from an ep tight player with 12bbs with 77 when it was obvious the raiser had a monster. I had to ask him why he called with that as he raked in shorties stack after flopping a set vs shorties AA. He answered,"I never make a standard raise with AA I just move in because I don't want someone to flop a set on me." That didn't really answer my question just as I was going to ask what he thought the raiser had and what was he hoping to flop, another donk chimed in that he shoves with AA too.

Re: The Worst Strategy You\'ve Overheard at a Table
NL homegame:
Pot is multiway and big. Guy with a flopped set bets about 1/5th of the pot. 3 callers and the small blind pushes (about a pot-sized raise). Guy with set instacalls, rest fold. Pusher tables a Q-high flushdraw. The flush hits on the turn. I ask him why he didn't just call, since he was closing the action and getting a great price, and then see if he would hit. He goes "I have to put all the money in now, cause if I call and hit the flush I never get paid off"
