Re: The Worst Strategy You\'ve Overheard at a Table
Many years ago playing 7 card stud in Vegas, a player complained bitterly about my play saying "He cheats, he only plays good cards and folds bad cards"
Of course I stuck around well into the morning when I folded once again and he turns irate and folds wired aces face up simply because I wasn't in the hand. The morning crowd who weren't around for the earlier exchange all had mouths gapping in astonished confusion.

Re: The Worst Strategy You\'ve Overheard at a Table
Two more stud stories, sorry. These were all pre poker boom so better ignorance floating around.
I raise with split jacks and a super tight older lady reraises with a queen in the door. I fold showing the jacks and she shows the queens. A man at the table angrily said, how can you fold, you have to play for the bad beat jackpot! Not really a strategy story but a kid at the table has his hands covering his up cards. An old lady involved in the pot says, "I cant see your cards" to which he replies, "Why the hell do you want to see my cards"

Re: The Worst Strategy You\'ve Overheard at a Table
Great thread. I've got one where I'm not sure who's play was worse.
£1/£2 NL A few people limp to crazy drunken fish. CDF pushes for ~£200 and flips over 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] saying "I hate low pockets just get out of my way." fold fold fold to one of the limper who calls! Limper turns over K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] doesn't improve and CDF takes down ~£400 pot. Limper when asked why he called relpies "well he's just been playing so badly all night it's annoying me so I wanted to try and bust him." I sit back, smile and thank god for donks.

Re: The Worst Strategy You\'ve Overheard at a Table
I once had a guy crack my flopped straight with a rivered flush. Afterwards, he told me that he knew he would make it because "a flush is the most common hand in hold'em".

Now if he called with A2 or 33 or something, OK, but wow. Plus, you have to know that even if you lose, the CDF will probably spew off the money again anyway.

[ QUOTE ] button flips up TJ for the immortal nuts. When asked why she didn't raise, she states "He wouldn't call." [/ QUOTE ] Even better, last action smooth call with the nuts and say, "I was afraid of getting check raised". [/ QUOTE ] That doesn't even make sense.

I mean, I've seen people online congratulate themselves on busting a total idiot and act like they were glad that someone that bad wasn't messing up their serious game anymore. Could be wrong though.
