Ok so picture the scene, final table at sheffield 20 pot limit event, normally quite chatty, no ipods needed
Blinds 800/1600 and I have 15000 which is about 6th in chips, chip leader only on about 35k

after 1 hour sat at final table and only 2 people have gone out, quite tight i'm bored as hell

Ipod not working as its just run out of charge.......

What do u do to relieve the boredom??   Never had this happen until 2 days ago

No idea, never been bored at a poker table. If that ever happened to me, I'd quit the game instantly.

You wouldn't wait until the game had finished?

I imagine it would be over by the time he woke up...

Behave!

Start raising at random. (That is actually what I do). See how far I can push 72o, that kind of thing. I bring an Ipod to stop myself doing this lol.

I go walk round the casino to freshen my mind or go outside for a minute. I used to do this a lot when i first started playing live festivals since i couldnt adapt with the difference in pace compared to online play.

I havnt been bored in a while though, if i do i just get myself some food yipee

I'd sing, get chatty, get drunk... or all three.

with less than 10 bb pushing all in blind every hand would be a start ;-)

 
 i think poker , especially NL Holdem tourneys can be extremely boring at times.

 i just try and chat a bit , maybe make a few moves and play a few creative hands.

 apart from that i think thats why some people call it grinding a result , you just have to accept that most of the time you wont have a good enough hand that you want loads of action with and grin and bear the tediousness of the game in order to get a result in the end.

 was it Kenna James who said poker is a game where you can spend hours boredom for a few seconds of sheer agony.

Exactly. But there's more to the game than just picking up playable hands.

I interviewed a well-known "face" after he busted in a Vic Fessie Main Event last year. He said "this game disgusts me, I've sat here for 5 hours without more than 2 pocket pairs, I've never enjoyed a game less than that". Then toodled off to chat with his Sponsor, who'd paid him in. It's yet to occur to Laddo that ducking & diving & finding spots when you are card-dead is half the fun, & immensely satisfying. Boring, it's not. It;'s like train-spotting really, you just never know what is coming up next......

I'm never bored ------

Break wind, that should get um talking.

Do you do requests?

 i agree , but you must get a little bored from time to time when your not SLAGging it up Tikay surely ?

i sing

booder can  hum a good tune too:) quite a talent :)

Then I would quit!

If you are really bored, sort out your shopping list, a bit of knitting, etc. There must be lots of things girlies could do to while away the time.

good thinking robert i am sure you at a FT there is enough room for you to bring an iron and your washing along

bored? at a poker table? surely not. I can honestly say I've never sat at a boring poker table. Have a bit of fun and find somebody to take the mick out of or run some outrageous bluffs (for tikay its called a missread) and show the table, try to get someone tilting, flirt with waitress/dealer/any attractive female at table, try builing a nice chipstack tower, try bouncing chips off the table and on to top of your stack, drink, sing, chat- sheesh theres so many things you can do at a table but bored- never.

I understand its more difficult for a woman(as it is a scientific fact they have smaller brains and attention spans) but surely you can try and plan next weeks cooking schedule or maybe take some knitting along or something ;)

does this not constitute behaviour outwith the bounds of the new guidelines? specifically, the bit about not flaming and discriminating on the grounds of 'sex'  ;)

pmsl  did the chip bouncing and tricks
chatted up waiter
raised loads almost every hand
actually did my internet banking list of who i'm paying
but..... hey just wanted to see what every body else did ;)

and Tikay no intention of quitting , thanks but I love poker very much indeed !!!

Of course, sensible suggestion there. Actually in an effort to assist I will be heading down to the Western for the, soon to happen, Ladies Only Comp with a supply of creased items for ironing. However I accept that a few maybe too busy swapping cake recipes.

For me, The final table is what it's all about. Thats where the real poker-players poker takes place, I love every second of it.

If I ever look bored on a final table it just means that the act is working, the reality is, I'm as taut as a spring.

I am always happy to do a deal if it means I can lock up a good payday, but I'm always a little disappointed that the game is over.

flaming? descriminatory? nah its a scientific fact. I cant change the laws of natural order can I?
If you are having problems with boredom at the table ladies you at least have the advantage over men where you could use one of them remote controlled jobbies- think of the fun you could have. Its hardly like the men could flick one off when they got bored is it lool

So if i do go I will get my long awaited cuddle..

Sorry i cant help with the boredom thing ,i'm never in a tournament long enough to get bored.

yes deffo against the guidlelines...........................................................

great idea robert they might even pay you for the priviledge of being able to iron and not get bored and donk off chips

i see a money making scheme on the horizon

rotflmfao

..and too drunk!

oh come on mad don't be like that, I'm only having a giggle-  not my fault if liverpool are playing at anfield is it? (steps back away from the keyboard and hides behind couch)

Ariston, you are such a charmer:)

I would reply to this but I can't remember who he is. Have we ever met Ariston?  :dontask:

Most of the time I just chill, lean back, watch the action...and take in the atmosphere..

And if Ariston is on the table, I just chill, lean back and watch him rip someone apart!!

Ariston on a Final Table?

Good god no... he was winding someone complaining about him going in blind in a 3 quid rebuy of all things..

This bloke was getting redder and redder till Ariston knocked him out

I just laughed..

He won a pot off me tony then got all chirpy about me playing every hand blind (£3 rebuy that I took a lady friend along to for live experience). I warned him to not chirp too much or I would start looking at my cards and then he would have no chance whatsoever. He chirped again so I started looking at my cards (still raised every hand obviously) and knocked him out about 15 minutes later when he let me get into his head. Those little rebuy things are a good laugh actually tony although the level of grumpy bstrds is a lot higher and in a £3 rebuy I get a lot more people telling me where I'm going wrong and trying to help me with my game loool. Amazing how many experts there are at the small tourneys.

To the ladies who are having a chip on this thread I shall remind you its now past 9pm and you should be either getting the kids packed lunches ready or preparing yourselves for bedroom duties about now (go make an effort and have a bath or something while your man watched TV for a bit) ;)

bedroom duties?  rotflmfao  If a woman thinks its a duty then the man aint doing it right.......

Ouch! Perfect return. Set point.

by bedroom duties I meant collecting the washing doing the ironing and making the bed etc before their men decide to go to bed. If you have time after all this before your man decides its bedtime you may want to take a bath so you smell nice before he joins you ;)
I guess by your response you like a man who's all submisive and quite feminine who listens to feelings and cries and stuff (and does as hes told) instead of a more neandathol  take you when he wants you type. 

Of course you will, and I am a little more cuddly than when you last saw me.

Actually, after my last relationship I'm not really sure I'm even looking for anything with a pulse. Wealthy poker player with a dicky heart is near the mark!  ;D  I could probably finish him off when I carry out a few of my extra 'duties'.   ::)

game set match to dingdell for that last post. wealthy older poker player with a dicky heart- if only we knew a rich older gentleman who played poker- can you think of anyone tikay?

Class response Dingdell:)

Ariston, I've heard a description of you that's fits this bill:) Get out of the closet!!!!! you know what they say about 'takes one to know one' and you seem to be in touch with your femanine side:) ;whistle; ;whistle;

I regularly touch plenty feminine sides but I can assure you none of them are my own. I would be happy to prove my noneintheclosetnessess with you all on a group basis but I would need some good pictures of you all via pm first ;scarymoment;

cheers, a bit busy tonight, thanks for the offer anyway

 ;shame;

Ummmmmm..................

I'm guessing here...................

How about ....................

A train ???????????

Highly unlikely in this day and age - the trains have all been cancelled due to the flooding!!
