Title: Surely an impossible fold? Post by: Pyso on July 23, 2011, 08:56:41 PM Friday night at DTD. A guy in his early forties, well dressed but clearly drunk, sits down with £200 at our 50p/£1 straddle table.
He creates havoc by open raising to anything between £50 and £100, sometimes blind. He calls anyone who folds with a pained expression, a "pussy". I should mention he has by now won a few pots with the predictable filth he turns over. He admits he is rich and is just having fun. Some players complain (not me) saying they can't see a flop (lol) and to call the floor. Er... don't you want someone who is prepared to give his money away, especially as he can clearly afford it? People - what is wrong with you?!!! Anyway, the floor says he is not breaking poker rules (duh) and that as he isn't being abusive (apart from one moment which he quickly apologised for) then he is welcome to stay. Then I see the most head scratching moment ever. Matey raises blind to £75. It folds round to the last player who has about £100 - he open mucks AK and says "I'm not even prepared to flip with you" I'm not having a go at him per se - it is his choice not to take the bet and you have to respect it - but I must be missing something here?? Can anyone else fold? I know I can't and I'm one of the tighter players around. Just thought I'd share it with you. Comedy nights like that don't happen too often...sigh....

This Q depends on your roll. If your massively rolled for the game and he's raising blind everyhand it's ~impossible to be card dead enough for one hour that you can't make a +EV shove/call. Depending on position obv and how nitty the rest of the table is, you can get it in super wide. If he's doing it every hand, I'd probably wait until I got top 20% so 66+ K9+ A8+ QT+ something like that. I doubt you went an hour. Not getting a top 20% hand in that time is almost impossible. In short, man up, get it in. The AK fold is obviously lolbad technically but people have very different reasons for playing poker, so he can do what he likes with his money.

FYP. yup thats what i meant. but the hand you put it in with should be a function of your roll as well. Title: Re: Surely an impossible fold?

On reflection it was probably only half an hour and yes, I was dealt not much better than 9,4. If I had have been dealt AK I would obviously have snap shoved but I would have done that with quite a bit worse. We were only about five handed too which would have helped had I been dealt a hand. Yes, it's definitely a question of your roll and I suppose the guy that passed AK wasn't properly rolled for it. And sorry George2Loose, that minute of your life is gone, gone, gone...

The folding player isn't rolled for a 50p/£1 game I'm afraid. Title: Re: Surely an impossible fold? Post by: JK on July 25, 2011, 03:39:38 PM Matey raises blind to £75.

Post by: SuuPRlim on July 25, 2011, 06:24:50 PM nice. very nice. ALSO, its so tilting when hands about Acey-Kingy spring on for pages and pages. I don't knwo who hasn't realised this but these are the two highest cards in the deck, and you should all count urselves jolly lucky to be dealt them in the same hand imo. If you wanna butcher this wonderful hand then fair enough but can we save everyone's time and not make pointlessly long threads about it Title: Re: Surely an impossible fold? Post by: mondatoo on July 25, 2011, 09:10:48 PM This should be in the rail, com story though, LOL at people complaining, wtf ??
Think I've mentioned this story before but anyway.... I had similar happen when I very first started playing, had spun £20 upto around £600 in a 1/2 game, it was by far the most I'd ever won and I didn't really gamble then, last hand of the night and this guy who had been doing the same thing as yours, opening to 50x, decided to just 3x it, I peel with 66 and the flop comes J66, happy days, he bets 50 into a pot of 20 or summit, obv I jam for 600, wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, I was worried he had JJ and might spike obv, I was even showing the other people at my table on my left what I had lol, obv I had no idea about table etiquette etc, he tanks and tanks and finally folds, I was proper gutted lol, was sure he would call, wp me. Afterwards I knew I should've just called and pretty much turned my hand face up, I was gutted how bad I played it and never shut up about it for about a week. Noobaments.
