Re: The Worst Strategy You\'ve Overheard at a Table
Overheard at my B&M 4/8 game...
Villain #1: "Would you call a board like that (Q85r) with 44?" Me: "How much money is in the pot?" Villain #1: "It doesn't matter!" Me (to self): "Methinks it's the only thing that matters." Villain #2 (to me): "Pot odds are, no offence, are something that weak players use to justify their bad calls." Never mind that we were talking about 'implied' odds.

Re: The Worst Strategy You\'ve Overheard at a Table
A friend of mine that I play in a weekly low limit NL homegame with likes to gamble...bigtime. Anyways, on multiple occasions he has had a flush draw and made humongous overbets all-in when he was obviously beat and was going to obviously be called. The person calling will flip over the nut straight or whatever the nuts are and my friend will say "I know that's what you have". I think ask why the [censored] he pushed all-in then, and he replies "so that I can win a big pot if I hit." Needless to say he's broke as [censored].

Re: The Worst Strategy You\'ve Overheard at a Table
In a $1/2NL game recently I saw someone fold top pair K kicker to a short stack shove because he thought the other guy had a flush draw. He actually folded because he believed he had the best hand a didn't want to get drawn out on.

Re: The Worst Strategy You\'ve Overheard at a Table
I don't think anyone can beat this. Playing a live tournament here in Venezuela, the buy in was $1500 with 200 players. I got eliminated and was watching another table bc a friend was in it. On to the hand:
There were like 10 players left to enter the prizes. The action goes like this: Preflop UTG raises, UTG+2 reraises, player in mid position goes all in, buttom all in, UTG folds, UTG+2 calls. UTG+2 shows AKs, mid position QQ and buttom 42 off suit and all the table was like WTF!!???. The ace comes on the flop and the guy with 42 makes a straight on the turn... After the hand the guy proceeds to explain his logic as to why he went all in, he said "there was too much action preflop, so I figured my opponents had all high cards, hence there are a lot of low cards left on the deck. I knew the board would help me, I actually thought I was going to catch 2 pair at least" Needless to say, the moron was eliminated 1 place from the bubble.

Re: The Worst Strategy You\'ve Overheard at a Table
Flushes come at least 50% of the time. They either do, or they don't.
Author IS serious. One of his buddies never plays AA because it always looses.

Re: The Worst Strategy You\'ve Overheard at a Table
Donk calls 3bet from nit at table. Flop comes 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Donk check-raise nit all-in. Nit tables red queens. Donk tables J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Donk: "I have an open-ended straight draw, a flushdraw AND an overcard!" I like: "An overcard to what?" Donk: "Well yeah, an overcard to the board, but he doesn't count. Still, I got so many outs, I can't loose!" Me: "Yeah, [insert nit's name] only has a small edge... I wouldn't be surprised if you were slightly ahead either." Donk: "Me too!" *turn bricks* Donk: "Damn, didn't hit it! Oh well, got it in with the best..." I lol'ed hard inside. I knew he was bad (always ended up at least losing 3BI's a night) but never knew how bad really till he came up with this ****.

Re: The Worst Strategy You\'ve Overheard at a Table
I think from this thread that I've learned there are two kinds of donks:
1. Those who admit they don't know what they're doing, and they're not sure about the strategy they're applying (rare) 2. Those who think their strategy works every time, and that anyone who disagrees with him/her is an idiot (common)
