No excuse for this call in my opinion

edited August 2009 in Area 51
In Response to No excuse for this call in my opinion:
Just going to rant at what I believe to be the most retarded call I've ever seen. I'm holding Ac9c on the button. Action: Fold Cut off Min raises to 200 Hero Calls SB (Villain) Calls BB Call Flop: 9d 3s 7s Villain bets 200 BB folds Call Hero pushes all in for 1980 Villain Calls 1780 Fold. Villain shows 10s 4d Turn: Qh River: 10h My reasons for going all in was to take the pot down without seeing any more cards. Should I have done that? Maybe he goes away if I make it 800? I didn't play the hand too well I know but oh well. Cannot possibly understand the call, yes the villain had me covered but it was for half his stack, and sure enough after every bad beat I check their stats and found my answer, -45% ROI and -$4400 profit how on earth can anyone sustain these kind of losses and still play he would have to win the open like 3x just to break even. Of course he could just be playing for fun but is being a serial loser fun?. I watched for a few hands after and sure enough he knocked out 2 more players with equally bad calls. Have now attached a note on the guy who I know next time I play on his table I am going to be able to get his chips most times. Luckily qualifying to the open via a sat has kept me in a good(ish) mood. Maybe my luck will come in tonight! Thoughts/tips welcome. Nick.

Hi,

You have answered your own question. He is a losing player and that is a losing call long term. Please dont get disheartened you WANT that call every time! He got lucky that time but overall he loses.

I will defend him however and say that its his money and he can play however he wants! Calling it "retarded" is just not nice imo.

Good luck at the tables

Greg

    jump around the living room, kick the cat, curse poker.... pop the kettle on, have a cuppa and then wait for him to make the same move again and clean him out. revenge is sweet.

    Ok this one time only; in Skypokers defence...it could have been a very new player who thought he was playing tic-tac-toe, or he had too many screens on and hit call on the wrong screen.  Ive lost loads due to the screen popping up when i didnt want it too.  I still think Skybet stinks and i would urge u not to play on Skyvegas at all because its all fixed.  The roulette board is not random in the slightest.
    If my "anti-Skyness" prompts them to give u better luck than i get granted, its all in a days work....u dont owe me
    so much of a thankyou.

    God Bless x
