Surely an impossible fold?

[Pyso]

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....

Indeed, I agree. It wasn't the best hour to go utterly card dead. Aaaaarrrrghhh!!!!

As part of your remission George, for all the bad beat stories you have inflicted on the poker community, I am electing you as an overseer of all posts like this. You will report back to the community with your findings.

lolz. How times have changed

That sounds like an absolute dream.

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.

its a poor fold.

[cambridgealex]

its a poor fold.

get Shaun King itt imo

Needless to say, if he had told the table he had looked and was impressed with the strength of his holdings, I would still elect to bet all of my chips.

WE HAVE AN ACE AND A KING FFS

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...
