Re: The Worst Strategy You\'ve Overheard at a Table
Typical loose 1/2 NL game. UTG raises to 7. UTG + 1 mucks. 5 of us see the flop. 779 flops. Checked around. Turn 6. Someone bets, and 3 of us fold (including UTG ... the pf raiser). River is 8. Heads up, there is a bet and a raise and the raise is called. Both decide to show their hands. Bettor had Tx for straight, and raiser had 88 for full house on the river.
UTG + 1 who folded pf jumped up and hollered, "THAT'S what I'm talking about. That's why you fold that hand." I asked what he folded and he said, "Jacks." I said, "you folded pocket jacks pf?" He said, "yep, I know the dude who raised, and I put him on AK. I knew I was way behind, so I folded. And I would have lost on the river. Hell, I fold JJ all the time. I've even folded better hands than that preflop." I was stunned for 5 minutes and just couldn't respond. --Headhunter

Re: The Worst Strategy You\'ve Overheard at a Table
My favorite piece of strategy is someone who won't bet a huge hand like KK because the ace always comes. Stuff like that.
Part of me loves playing those guys, part of me hates it. They play bottom pair and nut flush identically, hate it when the latter shows up.

Re: The Worst Strategy You\'ve Overheard at a Table
i say stupid things at the table all the time and with the upmost sincerity, because they are definitely +EV. not just at making myself look stupid and therefore having opponents underestimate me, but because if u r convincing enough some people start to implement them.
its taking the old adage 'don't educate them' to the next level...

Re: The Worst Strategy You\'ve Overheard at a Table
1/2 NL game. I showed down the nut flush after flopping a flush draw with two overs. My opponent asks what I would have done if he had raised bigger on the flop. I responded that I would have likely pushed given his shorter stack and that I thought I had 15 outs. An older gentleman asks how I figure that. I say 6 for the overs and 9 for the flush. He responds: "But you only have 7 for the flush since you have two spades in your hand."

Re: The Worst Strategy You\'ve Overheard at a Table
him - Q6 is better than AA if you're all in preflop. they did a simulation on the compter.
me - i'll bet you 1000 dollars that AA will beat Q 6 on the next five card board we see. him - no, AA wins in the short term, but when Q6 goes against AA millions of times, then it is slightly ahead.

Re: The Worst Strategy You\'ve Overheard at a Table
This happened a while ago in your typical 3-6 game. It was a kill-pot and I open-raised somewhere in the middle with AQs. I took the pot down without a showdown and the guy next to me questioned why I would raise with AQ there.
Him: Why would you raise with AQ there? Me: I want to win money. Him: Yeah, but AQ? Me: Would you raise with AKs there? Him: No. Why would you raise with a drawing hand? Me: Drawing hand? Him: Yeah, you have to hit to win, right? Me: Sure? I used to think this guy was a good player too. I guess I narrowed down his preflop raising range.
