OT: Hilarious Link

If anyone has 20 minutes to kill check this out. It's a link to a guy going on tilt playing at Party Poker. Any Internet gamblers out there will surely get a bang out of it.

That was good. I couldn't help but sit and listen to the whole thing. His problem is that he doesn't stick to a strategy. He changes his style every hand based on his emotions. Also, he's raising with marginal hands in bad position. Then sometimes when he has the button and it's checked around to him, he fails to take a shot at the pot. In my opinion, small to medium pocket pairs aren't that great. I wouldn't call a big raise with them much less initiate a big raise. If I remember right, your only about a 1 in 7 chance of flopping a set so once the flop hits, your usually dead. I'll lay down pocket 2's to a big raise almost every time unless I'm playing against a bluffer. This guy gets pocket 8's and way overbets the pot and then gets pissed when somebody flops a higher pair. He also has a problem with staying in a hand with bottom pair on the flop and chasing his 2nd pair, which usually doesn't happen. I tend to lay down in that situation too more times than not. Guys like this are what made Party Poker so great (and profitable!)

I play very little no limit hold 'em, so I can't really comment on the strategies this guy employs, but from what I understand very few solid players would make a large pre-flop reraise out of position with a hand like pocket 10's; or, worse, pocket 8's. And like Wabbitwax said, I can't figure out why he isn't taking a shot at the pot when he flops middle pair on the button and everyone checks to him. And of course that hand in the beginning where he pushes with the unimproved pocket 7's on the turn is just a total classic.

Anyway, I'm glad you guys enjoyed it. I know there are some fellow poker players here on the boards, so when I ran across this I knew I had to share it.

I'll agree. The guy wasn't very good and missed some opportunities to steal some pots.

Meanwhile, he'd get lucky in the blinds and flop a set, then get pissed when no one else had anything. The verbal barage to his computer screen was funny.

Hey boo, who's that in your avatar now?? Looks like Stifler.

Hi Shawn,

I was being facecious. Ted Haggard, you'll recall, was the pastor of the New Life Church who was recently outed by a male escort in Denver. Although there are myriad comic elements to this story which are fun to explore, there were, IMO, two key facets to this scandal that made it particularly delicious.

1) Pastor Ted was one of the more visible leaders of the anti-gay movement, so the irony here is obvious.

2) Apparently the Good Pastor enjoyed smoking methamphetamine-- i.e., 'crack for WASP's'-- before conjoining himself with his escort and shamelessly casting himself with the sodomites. If the Pastor was simply freebasing blow before getting BF'ed in some no-tel motel on the outskirts of Five Points the story wouldn't have nearly as much appeal. But the fact that it was meth, which by any measure is the absolute epitome of the 'dirty bathtub drug', really puts this story on a its own strata.

Anyway, I guess the point of all this is that you don't owe ME an apology, but you do owe Stiffler one, since Stiffler comes off as an archtype of restraint when his lustful inclinations are juxtaposed with the unholy yearnings of Pastor Ted.

Boo,

When I first read this it REALLY, REALLY scared me.....thought you were being serious until I read your next post.....WHEW !!!


Anyone for some crystal meth ?

Also, I wonder if he still talked to Bush on a regular basis now that he has been outed. The guy had some major pull with our fine president and leader. ( sarcasm...maybe they were just meth buddies )
