Tilting Made Me School the Maniac Jerk

[KipBond]

What I should have said: "I'm still learning -- I'm not as good as you."

What I actually said:

"You should learn how to stop calling on the turn with rags."

Rewind:

WINSTAR Casino in Oklahoma. 60-yr old maniac jerk in the 3 seat has caused a lot of drama at our table: slowrolling, telling a guy to "go f*ck yourself", and threatening to "take it outside to the parking lot". He's a maniac, PFR% of about 80%, bluffs a lot. I love playing with this guy -- lots of variance, but lots of $$ to be made.

I was in the BB with 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Saw a free flop w/ 2 people: J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Check all around. Turn: 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. I check. Maniac bets pot. Calling station calls. I min-raise. 2 callers. River: 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. I check. Maniac & calling station check. Maniac shows 7-3o and announces "pair of 7s". I show my baby flush.

He then berates me for not betting for value on the river: "You need to learn how to bet the river with your good hands; You got no value on that hand...". I reply: "You need to learn how to not call with rags on the turn. I checked to you because you bluff like 90% of the time." He said he's only bluffed 1 pot (lie). About an hour later I check the 18th nuts to him (or something), and he moves-all in on the river. I call. He shows AK unimproved.

Moral of the story: I need to learn to not tilt & school the maniacs/fish. And it's true, I still have a lot to learn, so I should just say "I'm still learning" or something like that.

Oh, and props to Jason for staying calm while said maniac jerk threatened him and made a big scene. (Not sure if he's on 2+2 or not.)

Richtig muss es natürlich "Wirf die Fische nicht ins Tafelwasser" heissen.

I didn't post it here. I posted this in the B&M forum -- but I guess the mods moved it. Nice.

Hast du etwas Zeit für mich
Dann singe ich ein Lied für dich
Von 99 Luftballons
Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont
Denkst du vielleicht g'rad an mich
Dann singe ich ein Lied für dich
Von 99 Luftballons
Und dass so was von so was kommt

Ich erlerne noch. Ich bin nicht so gut wie du.
