I personally think this play is brilliant!!! I think I would add more to it though to make it a bit more effective. Like instead of just telling the fish the guy is bluffing and he should call I think I would add in some name calling. Something like "Call that no good rotten scum sucking bag of Bull Shi ting sorry excuse of a poker player!!!" Then I would tell the fish that if he calls and loses that I would cover his loss because I'm that confident that he's full of it. Then after the hand is over I would ask everyone at the table if they seen what just happened?? If they didn't I would tell them the story including some more name calling. I would then proceed to try to call anyone that is in the area over to the table to point out how dumb that bet on the end was and how you were the one to catch him on it. That would be the only thing I talked about for the rest of the night while looking over at the guy pointing and laughing. Finally when you absolutely are told you have to shut up about it start calling people over and whispering in their ears and pointing at the same guy laughing more.

I'm serious man I think you should push this edge as hard as you possibly can because really what is he gonna do about it?? Yeah your gonna follow me outside right!!! LMFAO!!!!!

From that day on I think anytime I ran into this guy I would just look at him and laugh!!!

I dont get it if your breaking the rules of the cardroom you are playing in you are still cheating within the context of that game.

I guess we just disagree on this point. Breaking a cardroom's rules is not the same thing as breaking the law. One carries legal penalties, whereas the other carries only the threat of being barred from the cardroom (beatdowns from ninja poker players I piss off aside).

actually, you're just strictly wrong on this point. cheating in casino games in order to gain an unfair edge and take other people's (or the house's) IS ILLEGAL. people have been prosecuted and convicted for it. what you did is neither morally nor legally different from other forms of petty theft.

in practice, you can reasonably claim you didn't know what you did wasn't allowed and its not a big enough deal that you'd ever actually prosecuted for it. but regardless, your point that "it's not like you're actually breaking the law" is misinformed.

you suck. get hit by a bus.

It may be +EV in moneys, but it's also -EV in karma and soulpoints and any money you win with it is going to be tainted and you will hate yourself for the rest of your life.

You have a choice.

This is even more stupid than that guy who posted because he wanted opinions on whether or not he should use bots to win money at poker.

In the case of this example, there is no proof I used any information not available to everyone to influence the outcome of the game

At very least it's pretty easy to prove you looked at your hole cards before folding your hand. Not that it matters. You're a [censored] idiot.

suicide yourself OP

god this guy makes me want to type in all caps...

i dont think i would hate him as much if he didn't post with the full intention of not listening/understanding/taking-other-peoples-opinions-into-mind. if you're going to post and still be hardheaded in your stance and not care what people say then why don't you just tell this story to your dog?

I don't believe in the supernatural, so that's an easy choice for me.

Like talking to a brick wall.

This thread is amazing solely for the stupidity/ignorance of the OP as well as the multiple and varied traumas wished upon him by the most respected posters on this site.

op is trolling, stop feeding him

and I agree with the wishes the other posters have made for op
