Playing the short stack

[Garth Kay]

An excuse?? I don't need an excuse to call. If the hand you are talking about is the one I remember, I believe you weren't wired and I was calling with suited connectors? I'm not a huge underdog here and I was trying to teach you the maths of pot odds and implied odds.

Not what i was referring to, Pete. For mine, my money pretty much always goes in in this spot, for the same reasons Garth mentioned.

Congrats on replying in less than the 10 seconds I gave you LOL


I didn't say it *was* the reason you called, I said it was the bollocks that you said out loud


From memory, I just got moved to your table, received pocket 10's exclaimed 'YOU PHUCKING BEAUTY' and promptly went all in. You said out loud you figured me for a high pocket pair (and I snickered) and said you had a good drawing hand and you called. I won.

Naturally, since I beat you in a hand.. I went and told everyone lol

[Garth Kay]

LOL.
It's funny how everyone loves the fact that they beat me in one hand. I'm a c grade celebrity.
Maybe e grade? I dont know.

[BigPete33]

D+ for you sir

I find this thread funny on so many levels

I recognised the pot odds part of it but I am still hopless when working out the hand odds. Which was why I was curious if my move was justified considering the other option would have got me a better prize.

Oh and there ended up being 4 hearts on the board so I had to double check hoping my 5 diamonds had changed to a heart (but it hadn't strangely). No-one had a heart in their hand. Now that would have been nice and the sort of luck I was hoping for.

Pete,
YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME!!
One day my son I will have the honour of calling you a fellow poker player. Until that day I will just have to persevere with the teachings of pot odds, implied odds and fold equity.

WOW!!!!!! My son no less!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The mind boggles, is there a heads up best of 3 challenge I can smell??????

Take him on Pete,

Kick his arse Garth,

Will the "D" grade Celeb eat humble pie???

Or will the budding beer swilling son of GARTH rise to the top???

Stay tuned and remember........... Don't touch that dial folks

[BigPete33]

I honestly don't know if I should laugh or cry !

At least you played the pot odds last time Garth was at our table, Pete. From memory, I threw all-in UTG blind, Garth looked at one card and followed suit, James then called blind as well, and you, sir, made the call with ...J10? Of course, this was after the comment from both of us ..."We've already qualified. Gamboool!"
