Beat & Brag: Last Night...

[The Saint's Bear]

OK guys and gals I gotta say that this was a fun two hands. I am playing 1/2 NL with some friends, family and some strangers. I am a instinct player, but the beat shows you how bad things can go wrong.

Ok, so i put ug on a ten andmy dad on backdoor flush draw and straight...he loves to chase. So, yeah, this was dumb. I should have raised...most likely pushed here, but wait it gets worse.

Dad takes pot and smiles at me like he still knows what is best.[/list]
Wow, did I play that bad and on that hand he did know what is best, but he turned the straight. My dad never slow plays anythihg, so this was new move for him. good job, i guess. anyway, i deserved to get my [censored] pushed in here, i played this about as bad as i could.

New hand. Three hours later. Same [censored]...almost.

pot: $38[/list]I call here, because I am trying to set a trap, I know my dad is on a draw, A-10 OR J-10 and UG is proabably thinking his K-10 OR K-9 is a God and will win him the pot.

What a fine mess i have gotten myself into again I think. Still not worried that much, like i said my dad never slow plays and he loves to chase, he must be looking for a jack. No way he has J-10. plus, he is still proabably steaming from the last hand where he misread his hand AND UG can sit over there all he wants with his K-10 or K-9.

"No, you didn't Dad, and neither did I. Sorry, I am stealing from your retirment and cigarette fund."[/list]
My dads storms otuside for a smoke and says good hand on the way out. "I need a cigarette," he claimsas he leaves the room. His friend leans over and says, "He needs another smoke like he needs another bad beat from his son." Funny. And I go about stacking my ol' man's chips.

[Dan87]

so in your fake stories, do you ever raise ever or just call?

[captainwacky]

is there any possible way this isn't a gimmick?

[ChexNFX]

Is the play described real?

[HossTheBoss]

well played, play with your instinct and you will soon be the world champ!

[igetjokes]

it would be funny if your dad gave you a bad beat... with a big stick

[Oxy]

ultimate beat: referring to yourself in the third person with a nick like BEAR of all [censored] things

'BEAR CALLS'

[censored] what the hell? 'I CALL', OKAY?

['Chair]

I know two guys who still answer or are referred to by their "nicknames". Both are over 25 fwiw. "Bear" and "Gunz". Both are huge d-bags fwiw.

nice story. first or second time playing poker?

I prefer my nickname to my actual name, but I never refer to myself in the third person unless it's appropriate. Nicknames are awesome though.
