I'm getting run over a bit (it's an uncapped £0.50/1 game and I sat with around £4344.50 to begin proceedings).

When I read this I assumed it was a true story!

[Skippy]

So last night I venture to play at my local casino in a private game. I'm getting run over a bit (it's an uncapped £0.50/1 game and I sat with around £4344.50 to begin proceedings).

So I'm now sat with £213.50 when I receive after the £2 straddle and I just limp with to disguise my hand and trap someone. I've also limped the past 23 consecutuve hands. My plan goes a little wrong as there are 4 callers behind me to the flop. It comes a jackpot   and SB bets £12. I say to the table 'Fuck this stupid game, I hate poker, let's gamble so I can get out of here' and do a Phil Hellmuth (he's my hero) style shoveling of my chips into the pot trying to look like I have something like the bare ace of spades. Everyone passes quickly and one guy exposes his hand when he folds as   . I'm like wow how can you fold that but also pleased because someone now fold top pair as the way I've played the hand combined with my beautiful speech looks like I have the nut flush draw so with two more spades already gone, I'm gonna be quids in! It gets to the original bettor and he snap calls and quickly tables   . I keep my poker face on and don't table my hand until the turn and river are dealt as I'm supersticious. One guy calls me a 'puffoon' but I think he's just jealous as I'm the one stacking those chips.

Later on in the night I again limped UTG with pocket 8's and mr puffoon guy who was the table shortstack with £144 got his chips in on the 8 5 2. Why did he do this you might ask? Well when the flop came out and I saw I had the absolute nuts I slammed my fist on the table as though I can't hit a flop. I think that affected his decision to move all his chips in with just middle set.

With the coolers and sick beats I was getting, I should have probably gone home with nothing. However, my speech play and acting earnt me almost £1,000.

Just sayin'.

lol, vnh.

Ryan O'Connor limps in early position having just said before the hand "everytime I limp I get raised, I don't know why I do it"

Neil Banks raises in the cutoff with 

Matt Russell finds  on the button and 3-bets

O'Connor then re-re-raises. It appears he has the action he was looking for

Banks folds the Queens

Matt shoves, O'Connor has 

board 

"I knew I suppose, but I can't pass Kings with my stack there"

i think i played this well trapped the guy with my table talk, this tourney was good fun, sadly im out now but at least i had the chance

lol

[ ] WP

U "trapped" a guy with kings. If you probably open raise, you'd treble up and might be still in

the guy with kings should defo have folded with the action like it happened tho, i think that my junk talk was the only reason he went all in

Are you like a real person? He probably went all in cos he had a king and a king.

so if i dont talk do you not think he can think about it without me in his head. the last times i limped i folded so he should know that

Foirst of all welcome to blonde

Secondly it has nothing to do with table talk. He has kings. End of. Your speech had nothing to do with it.

If you raise with aces, Queens could well re raise. Kings would shove. You'd obviously call and queens may feel like they're priced in. Either way there's extra money in the pot.

Incidentally, what happened to this speech play on your exit hand? Didn't work?

kin ell george for such a nice bloke on the table you dont half give people stick on here lol

well you guys can take the piss all you like. and be as sarcastic as you like but at the end of the day i got his chips in that hand. perhaps if anyone new him they could get him to come on here and actually tell us that my speechplay didnt make a difference? like someone said, he said you have aces, sigh, and then he still put his chips in the middle, obviously he either is too bad to put his read to use, or my table talk got in his head and he couldnt bare the thought of me showing him a worse hand.

bald guy (well closely cropped), likes dogs, quite trim? - nah dont think ive heard of him -

maybe he might post thou and im sure he would direct you to the post on here (you being new and all that) about how passing KK pre is +ev. There was a recent thread and most of teh high stakes MTT pros do it all the time I understand

[TightEnd]

ok guys leave it there please.  New poster who can't be expected to get all the humour, and I am too busy to look after a ruck, thanks

Everyones just having a bit of friendly banter.

Everyone plays the game differently and that is their absolute right.
The majority of us would never be folding a king and another king preflop at that stage of the tournament. For every time your right, your wrong 10 times and so its just not a good idea to start putting people directly on an ace and another ace.

Matt posts on here under the name EvilPie and I was out with him last night (sick brag)
Ive played with him a lot and I absolutely guarantee that your speach play almost got him to fold.
If there had been no speach he would have called even quicker.

You just dont fold twin kings before the dealer does a flop.

As a friendly bit of advice, dont put too much emhasis on table talk, in general it doesnt work well for people.

[oconnorholla]

hey tightend, dont worry about me. its interesting to hear what most people are saying. just posts like the one with the ak hand on the cash table that is not neccessary.

stuart, yeah i agree its hard to fold, but perhaps if people fold them once in a while when they think they are beat they will get better, like the guy in that video did.

Ive text Matt to try and get him to post his thoughts for you.
