Idiots can make bad beats in limit too!
This is absolutely true....this actually happened to me. So one snowy friday evening in Chicago....I leave work to go play some $3/$6 at Trump. I get there and I can't help notice the guy sitting in seat 7. He's about 6'4"...250 - 260, built like a tank....football player for sure. I also can't help but notice he's sittling behind about $700 in white chips...the game hadn't been going that long so I know he bought in for that much (Who the hell does that anyway!). So anyway...as the game goes on...I'm watching this guy....he's laughing and joking...can't stop doing chip tricks even though he sucks at them. I'm thinking to myself...this guy is a total dick. I'm trying to keep this concise so I won't go into detail about how I watched him throwing his money away totally misplaying hands...but the point is...he sucked...horribly...I mean he was doing some of the dumbest things I've ever seen in poker(IE betting a pair facing a raise, a re-raise and a cap).
Now...the hand... I get dealt AJ diamonds in late position (one seat from the button)...Mr.$700 limps in UTG... action folds around to me...I raise of course...the button folds...the SB re-raises and the BB calls and Mr. $700 calls...flop comes 3-J-7 two diamonds....SB opens....BB Calls....700 calls...I raise....everyone calls....Turn card: 6 of clubs....checks around to me...I bet...fold, fold Mr.700 calls...(I put him on a weaker diamond draw)river comes...5 of hearts....Mr. 700 checks again with a smug look in his eye...I bet...he raises..In my head I'm like "holy shit" he's either got pocket 5's or pocket 4's...nevertheless I have to call...dealer says "show em'"...what does this dickhead turn over????? J 4 offsuit.....are you serious!! The whole table is like oh my god....I'm just sitting there pissed trying to keep my composure...an older guy asked him what the hell he was thinking playing that, to which he responds " I was just trying to make a donation"
After I heard that it was over...I went on tilt and lost everything...Now I think of Mr 700 every time I see J 4 offsuit.
