"Kinnipak" New User a83ea3b@webnntp.invalid Sep 14, 2006, 1:27 PM Post #1 of 19(130 views) Shortcut What do you say? (semi bahh) Can't Post when your opponent suffers a bad beat and gets knocked out of the tourny? Playing in a local free game at a bar. Absolutely card dead all night. Probably the worst string of cards I have had in a long long time. Players were making fun of me due to my lack of playing. I'm down to about 675 and finally pick up an ace. Ax UTG to be exact. I move my chips in and say boldly(and stupidly) "I finally have a hand gang, I'm all in." Everyone laughs and I got one caller two seats down who almost beat me into the pot with his chips. He tuurns over JJ and I am in trouble. Flop: QKQ rainbow. Not good. Turn: 6. Four suits and I get up to leave River: KING. My opponent is livid. gets up, walks away, and generally is steaming. Puts his last reamining chips in blind and busts on the next hand. I tried to say something to him but didn't know what I could say. he walked(stormed) away before I could say anything anyways, but is there anything you have to say in this kind of situation that does not sound bad or condescending? ________________________________________________________________________  RecGroups : the community-oriented newsreader : www.recgroups.com No Karma

What an ass. As for you, I would just say a quick "Sorry man" if I said anything at all. I think if you lay a beat on someone (I can't say this is a really bad beat, you were getting short and had to push obviously), the less you say is generally better. If he can't stand losing as a 70-30 favorite, especially in a free bar tourney, poker's definitely not the game for him. What would he have done if you flopped the Ace? No Karma

A respectful silence would seem appropriate, as anything else, however well intentioned, might just get you a sock in the jaw. Or you could just flirt with death, jump up out of your chair, spin around, and do a victory dance while yelling "Ship it, baby! Ship it!" But that would be imprudent. No Karma

Yeah, it was the way the hand played out that pissed him off. He was pretty quiet at the table, he never said anything directly to me that was bad(not that i cared) but it was brutal to him getting rivered like that. I think if the ace hit the flop or river he would not have been so pissed.... recgroups seems to be down again gang....

Don't know about that, but if you pull this shit at my home game, you're out! Seriously, sometimes "sorry, man, that's harsh" is the right thing to say. In your case, just say nothing, since it's obvious it wouldn't matter anyway. Sometimes saying nothing is the best course of action.

(semi bahh) [In reply to] Can't Post Well once you see the guy is a jerk by the way he jumps up and starts steaming, at that point I would just start defending my play by insisting that it was a classic race situation and that he made a loose call anyway. Then you mumble something about having to play to win and that you felt the ace coming. Oh yeah, as you're stacking your chips you might want to throw out a little whistle and say "wow, big pot." I was playing in a bar tournament a few weeks ago and some guy with a ton of chips was raising and reraising everyone. Finally this one chick at the table decided to defend her blind and reraise him preflop. So of course she makes a very small reraise and the guy calls. The flop comes all l low and the guy moves all- in. The girl insta calls for all her chips , she was pretty deep stacked too. Anyway, they flip the cards and the guy has like 63 offsuit and hit a 3 on the flop. The girl has KJ for no pair no draw. lolol. The turn is a K and she jumps up and goes "THAT'S RIGHT BABY, YOU CALLED ME WITH 63 AND YOU GOT WHAT U DESERVED!! EVENTUALLY THE ODDS CATCH UP WITH THE DONKS AND THE GOOD PLAYERS LIKE ME END UP WITH THE CHIPS!!" Then she high fives her husband sitting next to her and he goes "THAT'S RIGHT HONEY, YOU PLAY THE GOOD CARDS AND LET THE DONKEYS GO HEEHAW HEEHAW!!" Funniest thing I ever saw in my life. I felt like pointing out that she put all her money in as a big underdog after the flop which probably makes her the donk, but I'm pretty sure I would have beaten to death. Bar tournaments are so much fun. No Karma

If they seem just let down, then I may say, "Sorry" with a little sympathetic smile and a pat on the table. It works for me, but maybe because I'm female.
