The Worst Strategy You've Overheard at a Table

I heard this gem from a guy. table is typical 1/2 NL Loose/passive.. limp, limp, raise to 12 from MP, call, call. I'm on the Button with TJ offsuit. I call, LDO, because I know at least one of the two limpers will call. sure enough, they both call. we're 5 to the flop for 12 each. flop AKQ 2 to a flush draw. Original raiser (who has a couple hundo still behind) fires $25 (obv. giving any draws odds to call, moron) and I raise to $100 to price out the obv. draws behind, he goes all in, I call, turn and river brick and he shows KK for trips.

Now, this wasn't the guy's fault (although the flop bet was horribly too small, but I'd already made a hand anyway). Then the guy starts wearing me out about the call. I mutter something about the button or something (no way am I educating about pot and implimed odds). and then he lays down the ulimate 1/2 smacktalk: "THEY WEREN'T EVEN SUITED".

like there is this HUGE difference between playing JTo and JTs. It's like what, 2%, equity against a random?

Obviously, if the random hand player in seat 7 gets up, you would immediately tell the dealer you "WANT THAT SEAT" because it is hot.

decent one i heard at my local donkament the other day. mid stages, guy in MP pushes all-in, and button calls himself all-in. every1 else folds and button turns over 98o. asked why, he said he had position.

1-3NL in Morongo. I'm the button/CO with AA, five limpers to me, so I raise to 20. All fold, I muck. Some kid who's 21-22 at best berates me for five minutes after the hand is over. "Why'd you raise so much? $20? That's a lot to raise to...."

I told him I thought it was a good idea. He proceeds to go from $400+ to $0, rebuys to $100 and busts twice, and walks away.

here is a good one:

you should allways limp in with AAs so that all the table gets in and you can win a huge pot [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
