From the "I thought I'd heard everything" files

I've started being a regular in my local 5/10 HORSE game. There's one regular in the game, who I used to think was pretty good but now I'm re-evaluating. After just about EVERY hand, he has to let everyone know what he had and why he played it they way he did. Seat 1 comments that nobody cares. Later on, seat 1 and Mr. talker get into a hand with Seat 1 having top pair and Mr. talker having a combo draw on the turn. River is a blank and Seat 1 takes the pot. Mr. talker bemoans the fact that he mised his 13 outs and comments to Seat 1 that he had more outs than he did.

Seat 1: 'Outs? What are you talking about? I had top pair.'
Mr. talker: 'Well, I had 13 outs on the turn. You only had 5.'
Seat 1: 'You're an idiot'

At this point Mr. talker takes a little offense to the comment, but the dealer keeps it from getting ugly and we move on. Seat 1 decides to move to another game shortly there after. Here I thought this was just a BBV joke, but apparently some people actually think this way.

I was going to link you to the BBV thread about this before I read the last line. Lolz. Props to the dealer for smoothing it out.


Were I in seat one it might have gone something like this:

Seat 1: 'Outs? What are you talking about? I had top pair.'
Mr. talker: 'Well, I had 13 outs on the turn. You only had 5.'
Seat 1: 'No, I had 33 outs. DUCY?'

But then I'd have to pull myself aside later and give me a stern talking to about educating the fish.

Any chance Mr. Talker leveled the whole table?

Unlikely, because after the idiot comment, they argued for about a minute.

I [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] being called an idiot/donkey/moron/fish at the table. Now and then I deserve it. But it's usually after I push with 18 outs after the flop against the opponent's top-pair-no-kicker and he calls and upon seeing my cards exclaims "I KNEW YOU WERE BLUFFING". Then when I hit he launches into how ridonkulous my bet was and how brilliant he was to have read me perfectly and how unlucky he was to have suffered such an evil bad beat.

One doesn't argue with these people. You nod in agreement and just admit "I got lucky" or "I had a feeling" or my favorite "they were suited". Why would you do otherwise? I understand the temptation to call the other guy an idiot, but as we see from this example that often just results in the idiot leaving; that doesn't seem like a good goal.

Also, where was the game? My casino just started spreading 5-10 HOSE, but I'm always curious where I can find mixed games.

Biggle - Just because the story takes place in a B&M environment doesnt mean its a B&M topic of discussion - this happens all the time online as well, its a sad situation.

Saint Louis. Ameristar. Usually only runs weekends. The last two times I've gone the Hold'em round has been changed to something else. Last time it was Crazy Pineapple.

Seat 1 is a moron. If I were seat 1, the conversation would have gone:

Talker: Nice catch, Donkey. I had more outs than you.
Seat 1: I know, its Karma.
Talker: Huh?
Seat 1: Good things happen to good people. I guess I am just a better person than you are.
