Too much poker talk?

[SuuPRlim]

Yeah it is a bit boring and I avoid if possible, the problem is poker is the reason we all know each and what we have in common so a bit of polite chit chat about poker is inevitable I guess.

What I hate is the poker bores who want to dissect every flipping hand after its played and how well/badly you played it. If someone played a hand badly why on earth would you tell them so they play it better the next time?

yh highly tilting.  The bit I hate is directly after a completely nothing hand, where very little relevant stuff goes on, when you get all the "well I knew you had the 7" followed by, "yes well I knew for sure you had the flush draw" etc etc

Unless I've very much missed something, everyone gets there cards dealt face down and only they can see them, so really, it's pretty much impossible to "know" or "be sure" that someone has a certain set of cards. Until that is, after the hand when eveyrone has seen everyone's card, then it's pretty easy to know for sure what everyone had.

The problem is, I tell are really interesting, bad-beat stories, and then the bastards have the cheek to tell me boring ones.

It does my head in.

Lies. You talk of motorized power equipment, sophisticated hobbies and the old days i call that bluff.

Yeah very much this. Never heard Tom moan  about a bad beat.  Having said that 2 weeks ago someone was moaning that Tom snapped him off with either 66 or 88 to end his tourney lol

I've heard Tom moan about a bad beat... they tried to charge him 50p for a thimble of sauce.

If i'm talking hands in the breaks I've played its usually to my buddies who are better than me to ask for advice if I played the hand optimally or not.

Poker players at dtd are generally a friendly lot imo and love to talk which is great and can be good stimulating conversation, however sometimes I must admit I find myself bored to tears at the tables and my mind wanders, for example when the guy sat next to me is telling me a 10 minute dull story about his 'sick beat' when his flopped top two<back door straight draw to eliminate him a month ago or how every time (insert reg dealers name here) deals to him he always loses (which leads him on to another 15 minute story)!

'Tried' being the operative word....

People who ask me things like 'do you fold if I shove??', 'why did u...' and just generally over analyse every single hand grip my sh*t. One guy in particular does it, and I ask him what hand. He says.'the hand u just played'....'er dunno, what happened...i forgot about it'....'i wipe from brain n move on...'

sshhhhhhhhhhh! less of this and more buying cars from pensioners please.
