"That's poker"

[jakally]

After I rivered an open ender yesterday versus an oppos overpair, the guy I had sucked out on started the normal 'you fishy ****' etc.. etc...

So I asked him why he only bet £20 into a c£70 pot on the turn.

His reply :

'I knew you were fishing so I kept it small to keep you in'.


Personally I hate 'OMFG' - makes me picture overweight Americans sitting open-mouthed staring in disbelief.

Last week a guy called my A-K all-in with J-Q and shouted to his mate that he was "flipping". He then turned to me and said don't you just hate these 50-50's. I was already reaching for my coat at this point.

Few weeks ago in a game at gutshot one guy was playing every hand just spewing money everywhere but got all in a few times when he picked up half a draw etc. A double gutshot to him was top set.

Every time all in he kept saying 'I deserve to win cos I'm the only one at this table brave enough to play these sh1t hands'.

"phew" is the worst when they are the ones on a draw.  "phew" should be left fr when you have TPTK or a set vs a combo 14outer, and you fade.

"phew" should be kept for the times where you are ahead and fade a big draw.

Anyone else find this to be the most irritating expression in the world? Always written by some buffoon with no sense of shame in the chat box.
Last night, after being rivered by a one-outer when numbnuts made quads over my set (50p sent), I offered my "surprise" in the chat, only to be met with "That's poker". I could have thrown the lappie out of the window.

 

Er.. If numbnuts made quads, doesn't that mean that he also had a set?

I hate when big stacks are sitting there moaning about being 'card dead' just because they haven't been all in in the last 10 minutes.

At the cricket on Friday I found myself shouting 'Ship it' when Kevin Pietersen smashed a boundary....

Worst one I find in online poker are people who say "ty" unprompted, man does this tilt me, it always some complete fish who wakes up with aq on the bubble. When i shove atc and they win a 65/35 and they think i have done them some favour.

yes - I had the higher set and he called all stack on flop, so 50p payment justified
