I love a good won it on the river story. I am not much of a poker player and I have an addictive personality so I think it is best I do not attempt to learn all that needs to be known to do well.

It is great to see that you let your emotions out on the keyboard and not on this dufus. He may deserve it but you left his ego intact to be cleaned out by some other lucky person.

Were you actually playing 8-16? Because if it was then you should know that every two-bit cowboy with shit on his shoes plays 4-8 or 8-16. I suggest you play 20-40 and you won’t have that problem. Not that I’m judging – most of the games I play are 4-8 and 8-16, but I just put up with the morons. Omaha H/L will also filter out the idiots .. oh and a good Ipod helps.

I know this comment is hitting an old article, but it was a funny article. I have seen countless guys like this in all walks of life and it makes me positively giddy when I see them “get theirs” due to someone whom they thought was a moron. :)

Ha, hilarity. Deebes, I think? You did have a rock-solid Cartman impression.

I. Am. So. Pissed. Off. Right. NOWWW!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading that story. Also, I once beat you in a class poll to determine which of us could do the best 1st season Cartman impression in Bro. Bob’s C++ class. You handled the loss with grace and class.

Probably was the first time he’d ever had a pair !

In more than one way….

OOOOH! That is a tough hand to lay down. I’d love to know the betting sequence too, but yeah, that’s boring and long and moot.

If this guy was as dick as you say, I’d have called him down just on general principle.

Oh dude, I’m glad you brought that up, because that is the clincher in this whole deal!

The high card on the table was a Jack, and of course, after the river, there were three hearts on the table as well. Any player worth a damn would have been positively sickened by the sight of a third heart on the table, but not this guy. He just pushed harder, incensed that somebody would continue to call his rock-solid winner (Oh, and there was a potential straight on the board, too).

His hand?

Pocket queens!

Everybody with me now:

AMATEUR!

Poker is a near perfect analogy for life. “The fact that you’re destined to fail only makes it that much sweeter”

Yup.

$80 says he doesn’t know what a “blog” is. This probably isn’t the best medium to catch his attention. :)

I’ve had a bad run of late…seems I can’t chase a fly off a pot. And when I go in hard, people have busted me to pieces “on the river.” (either that or I go in against the nuts) *sigh*

So, I’ve been pissed. But never enough to have an outburst like that. That’s poker–shit happens.

Did you happen to catch what hand this guy was playing?
