Poker Hands and Strategy

Well in that case I switch to using M instead of #BB so that I can still happily justify the shove.

Shove feels too spewy for that stack size. I like calling and playing post-flop poker. Not playing fit or fold on the flop.

He has me well covered. Nowhere near money.

James Woods is at my table at Commerce. Everyone start tweeting shit at him to tilt him. NOT WITH THIS PICTURE THOUGH

He gave me a little nod like he knew I was in the demographic that would recognize him.

I’m fine shoving, but enjoy going out of 1ks in way more loltastic ways.

Woods is actually being really cool at the table. Very nice, unassuming. He’s a good ambassador for the game.

Other kid at the table his brother was killed in the Corona Costco shooting. Ugh.

Did you forget he got banned from twitter for being one of the most deplorable maga people? Like, truly heinous infowars/breitbart stuff.

Poker isn’t a purity off the poker table test for good reason, over half of every table would immediately fail.

This isn’t some edge case though. Woods was maybe the most deplorable person on twitter until they were suspended.

Oh no I didn’t forget. I’m just saying his poker persona is 180 degrees different. At least he’s good for the game when he’s at the table.

They’re playing the Fury/Wilder fight and Woods just stood up with his hand over his heart for the anthem. Literally no one else on the floor did the same.

Did everyone think he was a moron?

Did you take all his money then talk shit?

It’s hard to be a loud asshole 24/7. In a decade of playing live I’ve seen one guy who was basically always on and couldn’t turn the switch off.

Just heard a great story from a dealer at the casino here. 2/2 holdem game, heads up on river, first to speak is considering his action. Other guy says if you make a big bet I’ll fold. Guy bets 20 dollars, other guy flat calls. Bettor is like CAN HE DO THAT?? and demands floor is called. Floor says yeah you can’t do that and mucks the caller’s hand lol.

Currently in a pretty interesting 1/2 game. No joke £15k on the table just had a 3.5k pot where an underpair no draw shoved and got called by top pair 8 kicker. He hit a set on the turn. Ouch.

Oh yeah someone new just sat down and started out with a 3k literal coin flip (the dealer flipped) just to get started. He lost.

But fish just ordered another round.

Another huge all in bluff on the river 800 into like 1.2k at 1/2

Current net worth of everyone in this pic (and let’s assume Raptor took it so include him) - O/U $50M? I know some of them hit it big on bitcoin. Although then again durrr might be negative net worth right now and I’m counting on him for a decent chunk of it.
