A moody, or legit?

[tikay]

Funny how ones memory fades with age.  I was dealing and I don't know who you were playing but it wasn't a sky bod. Anyway..... the match, as all  matches, was played in good spirit especially your opponents all-in blind first hand when you folded quicker than origami expert on the clock.

The comment i made regarding your reaching for chips, pausing and checking was "what a moody, anyone else, me included, would have shoved right there as it was obvious you were after a free card"

I agree that anything goes at bb5 but under other circumstances i believe that actions such as that are treading a very thin line. so there.

Look, I stand by every word I said. But yes, technically, it was not against James, (it was againast a nice friend of Matt Dale's), Little Jimmy was not dealing, & yes, I may have forgotten exactly what you said. That apart, I was spot on.......

But seriously, in a "proper game", do you think "making as if to to bet", then changing my mind, counts as a Moody? (Assuming the chips do not go over the line). I mean, one can be confused, & indecisive, surely.....?

you were bang out of order for calling James' all in with 10 4 only to be up against J 10 ... and spike the 4 .. so sick !!

No, he - the Mug - called MY All-In. A stroke of genuis by me, as there had not been a 4 on the Board for 3 hands, so one was due.

You can't learn that in books, you know.

It was AT you were up against!!!

Nope, J-T. Against James from Sky. Deffo.

Nooooooooooooooooo! That Compo is biased, you know. Has to be, it stands to reason, because, well, it just does. All Independent Arbitrators are. I read it somewhere.

i have seen people count out chips in a multi way pot when they are last to act to give the impression they are going to bet while other players are considering their actions, and once its checked round to them they put the chips back on their stack and check!!! Nothing wrong with this as it gets them a free card and maybe has stopped someone bluffing at the pot. A LEGIMATE tactic i think.

Why?

[bhoywonder]

I got warned by a dealer for doing the same thing

I asked for an explanation

he couldnt provide one


so now when he deals at my table i try it on again

except im looking at the dealer,just for a laugh........

compo dealt the game between tikay and firephil

[Snatiramas]

No problem............you see this move all the time. Many do it as part of their dwell up fold routine.

Ahh yes, "firephil", & what a smashing lad he was too. Top Bloke him, liked him a lot.

[quantify]

if this is compis view, (whoever compo is) tell him to save any money he invests in poker and take up conkers cos the outcome will be the same ..............................................................he will end up with a sore wrist playin both games.............


this is the simplest form of psychological play to get a reaction of a player , ...... it is a gme with principles  , yes, but competitive advantage is the  key over such a long game. 

this is a basic play , go forbid if he saw some real "tell casts"

perfectly legitimate way of gaining info. much more sporting that aggressive, insulting table talk.

If you can't keep your emotions in check when someone is counting chips or asking you a civilised question, you have no business playing poker.
