Went to go eat sushi a couple weeks ago with my step dad and a whole bunch of other people. College age kid is there with super hot girlfriend. He is a very avid poker player.

Apparently limit is not beatable

Everyone cheats

And J8 is the nuts on a JT8 board, completely disregarding all relevant information of course...its just the nuts

But hey...he had a super hot gf and I post on 2+2 soo....I guess we know who the real winner is

Which people that play? There are like 3 people at work who I can stand to talk to about poker, and the other 99% I just want to throw gravy at.

There are 2 people I can talk poker w/ IRL. One lives in Cali, and one lives in Washington.

my biggest mistake was telling people I play poker

they keep asking how much I'm making.. "hey, I play poker on once a month in my homegame"

and whatnot

Whenever people who don't know I play poker come into my room and I'm sitting at my compter in front of 3 giant monitors I try and say that its my roomates computer and I just needed to use it for a second and mine is the more modest setup across the room. Then I tell them my roomate is addicted to porn.

This guy where I was working found out I played online poker.

HELLO FIFTY BAD BEAT STORIES. The best one was (he had just gotten back from Vegas) "I was at the MGM playing 200NL. I looked down at aces. I only had 100 dollars behind. So I raised to 15, another guy reraised me to 40, and I pushed. He called with kings and rivered a king. My mistake was not having enough money behind to push him off the hand"

YEA IT SURE IS A BIG [censored] MISTAKE TO GET ALL IN PREFLOP WITH POCKET ACES



then another guy found out I played online poker

HELLO 45 MINUTE LECTURE ON HOW HE "KNOWS" ONLINE POKER IS RIGGED, including, but not limited too, when you cashout they make you start losing, if you are clearing a bonus they make you lose, and if you deposit they let you win.

How does he know it is rigged?

Because he deposited 500 dollars to play 3 handed 5/10 LHE and its obviously impossible to lose 50 bb in a session


I'm never letting anyone know I play poker again
