MP3 had been in a pissing contest with another player, and talking a lot of obscene trash. I couldn't tell if he was on tilt or had a big pocket pair, but I decided to go for it.

I dumped 46 BB last night playing live. The table was a cartoon version of everything you've ever heard about fish, and I still managed to lose horribly. We had the two friends who had never played live before and were showing their cards to each other and cheering. A guy from a convention with a freaking name tag on sat down. We had the kid with the giant sunglasses, Ipod, and baseball cap. The lady next to me didn't fail to see a flop for 6 hours straight. The two old guys who have probably been playing in this room since '42 took any pair (any pair) to the river.

And my favorite moment was when I had my flopped set of kings busted by a kid who called all of my raises with what he thought was a Q-high. Only when the dealer told him that he had a flush did he realize that he won the hand.

I'm pretty sure that I'm the worst poker player in existence.

This is LC, so I guess it belongs in here

what do you guys do while playing cards? I single-table (I'll admit it) so I read (been pretty into philosophy since I took a class in it last semester Richard Rorty, what I'm currently reading) and listen to music (mostly floyd, nirvana, rage against the machine, stuff along those lines). It's probably -ev to read while playing, and to not play more than one table, but this brings us to the discussion of whether its +ev to stand while you're playing a hand vs sitting in a comfortable chair that came up either here or somewhere else (I can't remember).

(I like to parenthesise things)

Should I have capped the river or did I slow down at the right time? I knew he was a bit of a maniac, but even maniacs get hands, but I can't imagine going any less bets than this, and I'm afraid I effed this one up. The raise preflop is very standard for me, it doesn't have to be for anyone else.

i multi-table while reading articles, blogs, etc, and checking the boxscores every 30 seconds to see how my fantasy baseball team is doing. i'm pretty sure that's -EV. sometimes i watch a movie

pryor15 · #19 07-10-2005, 03:02 AM

over the last 2200 hands, my biggest loser is JTo (0 for 22 and counting...-11BB) and my biggest winner? JTs (5 for 8...+24.75BB)

go figure.
