here's a story i read elsewhere but it was the best poker story i've read so i saved it and i'll post it here today.
"i was playing in a 10/20NL game at the bike about a year ago when it first started going, and i had been playing in the game with this guy for a couple of hours and i noticed that every time he bluffed the river and got called he would just muck his hand, EVERY time.
now when i get called after a bluff i proudly turn up my 5 high so everyone can see what a maniac i am and so i get to see what i got called by, however this guy would always just throw his cards right in the muck.
in addition to this he had a habit of just throwing out a ton of chips into the pot when he was bluffing rather then count out some number and bet that.
i wasn't as sure of the betting tell but it def. looked reliable.
so after a while i get tangled up in a big pot with him and end up with 6 high on the river after some retarded miss of a zillion outs.
on the river this guy comes out with some huge bet and i was about to insta-fold and **** about how bad i run yada yada yada, when i realized that the dude had just grabbed a handful of white chips and threw them in the pot.
i wasn't 100% of this read but after thinking about the hand for a second it occured to me that this bozo could easily have a busted flush draw.
so i was like WTF i call, and if he shows me a good hand i can just mutter under my breath about how donkey's always draw.
man was i so freaking stoked to see him just insta-muck his cards.
and no i did not show...god i wanted to so bad, but i didn't want him to catch on.
sure i could have let him keep eating those oreo's all night long but i didn't have time....oh wait no i did, it was friday i didn't have a job, and i didn't have [censored] to do...so i used every last bit of restraint and just quietly mucked my cards.
in retrospect it was the worst decision i ever made as i don't think i ever saw that guy again so i should have just showed my six high, whipped out my balls, put em on the table and started yelling in my best tony montana accent "SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!!!"." |
Wow I'm amazed this story didn't win. I was frozen to the screen with anticipation. |

Hopefully we can do the forum proud!
Thanks again,

I liked his story on the $20k hockey game as well, I just liked Domer's a little more. Great effort though mistaken, I might have to give you a consolation prize.  |

Bummer... no love for my fictional look at the 2030 ME. I thought at the very least it might invoke some discussion about what the future holds for online poker and the ME.
Well, it sounds like I had more fun writing/thinking about the future than anyone got from reading it.
Maybe it's me, but I'd love to read about other's views into the poker "crystal ball". |

I liked your story Pete. I'm way too tired to think about the future right now though.  |
