No straight draw, flush draw, just overs and risk 40% of his stack on q high. Amazing.
In the same game at 25/50 there was an ak all in called by a4 which hit the 4, and an aj all in against a5 which hit the 5. Some people will just shove with any ace but i'm sure when they come off with their 50p they genuinly think they have played well.
What was i thinking going all in!! i should have quietly folded to his superior intellect.
I have removed his name because I dont want people avoiding his tables because of his skills.
Yes I know it was 25p and so i expect a wide range of calling hands in view of this but simple poker logic would see this as a fold as the only hand he was beating was jack high.
I usually sit on the £3.30/£5.50 tables but after 7pm you will only ever see me on the micros in view of the madness round here and before anyone says it, yes, this is the type of player I do wish to see regularly and yes 90% of the time it would stand up and i would be quietly smiling to myself having nicely doubled up at his rashness. However, i just thought it was worth posting and giving everyone a smile.
Your always here to cheer me up!
Perhaps thats why the server has been so slow recently. Too much telekinetic activity!
Seem to have another pyschic next to me now. Tourney only been on 5 minutes but so far has raised 5 x bb every hand. I assume the dealer dealt him aces first hand and he forgot to give them back.
Oh hang on, he just folded to a bet on an ace high flop, must be some mistake surely. Will keep watching him and let you know.
Almost insta call from him. (obviously holding exceptionally strong or is the brother of the programmer) flop comes 8k j rainbow and by some strange error i've got trips. Surely they must be for the other player and not me? Anyway, not feeling that confident on my third nuts I check it and he puts me all in! Tough call I thought, could it be trips over trips. Does he have that strong runner runner flush or a gutshot?
begrudgingly I hold my breath and call (but shaking) hoping to hit the 2 % outer of another 8, surely quads would be good enough? or would it? hate to go out with quad 8's against quad kings.
Cards turned over and he's got j 7 off. Not out the woods yet, turn comes nine, haden't thought of the runner runner straight option, too early in the morning for me, just woke up. Bit later on in the day after a few coffee's and that scenario would have come to me and I should have probably folded but the river pairs the king and I've got a full house. Totally shocked that a full house would be good enough here and feel the other player was a little hard done to.
I have emailed this obnormality to Sky customer services and hope they look into some obvious errors with their server. Odds for hands like this are hundreds to one if not thousands and have never seen such a lucky outdraw by myself anywhere. I had already typed sorry into the chat box but had noticed he had took his coat and gone home.
If this continues then I feel that I wont be able to carry on playing here due to the huge unfairness of the site and me hitting trips to his middle pair. Surely this is totally wrong?
No, nutter, I did not expect by any means to be ahead but by putting sky bingo principles into effect and what with my 2% outer of quads I thought i had an outside chance.
I had also covered my head and computer with silver foil to prevent telekinteic activity affecting things. Seemed to have worked so would recommend this to anyone. Then again, it may have just been early and he hadn't fine tuned his senses yet that morning.

GAMBOOOOOL
;-p
Remember Kung Fu, the T.V, series???? Grasshopper spent 20 years in a monastry eating nothing but panda's eyebrows and training on the highly skilled art of bluffme and finally managed to carry a hot teapot with holes in the sides with his wrists over a bed of rice paper without breaking it.
He then managed to beat up the blind pensioner who had spent all his time passing on his worldy wisdom and even he is not allowed in the inner sanctum of the bingo masters.
Bingoism (its correct religious term) takes many seconds of training and quiet contemplation and myself with only 8 years of tournament play am not even ready to take the first step on this long and winding path to inner peace and how to play 2 6 off knowing its true strength.
The reason I know you are no bingoist? The first commandment of the Bingo player was secretly passed to me during a visit to the pink tab and its inner caverns.
'Thou shalt only play 2 3 suited and above, 2 3 off will covet your neighbours Ox.'
I have just returned again from a very dangerous but fulfilling 2 hour expedition to the pink tab disguised as a pensioner who's pension is burning a serious hole in her leopard skin purse and was able to gain further knowledge about bingoists. I tried to send my blind, deaf mother in law on this dangerous mission but she said something like 'i've got too much to live for' or was it 'not now dear corrie's on' not too sure on that, i'l have to check it and come back to you. Anyway, I 'took one for the team' so to speak and carefully treaded where few poker players dare to venture.
I was lucky enough to be allowed into their inner sect and was given the 9 remaining commandments on the understanding that these were never discussed over on Sky Poker.
I was threatened with a fatwa equivalent to that given to Salman Rushdie over his 'Satanic Verses'.
I think the pink fluffy slippers and hair net fooled them sufficiently but I am now in fear for my safety because as an exclusive to the readers of this post I will pass on these pearls of wisdom.
Beware...... The information you will now receive is dangerous in the hands of mere mortals and should never be practiced without the presence of a young priest, an old priest and a sacrificial goat with only 1 horn and three teeth.
If I dissappear without trace over the next few days, tell my family I love them.................
1)'Thou shalt only play 2 3 suited and above, 2 3 off will covet your neighbours Ox.'
2)'Play every hand, the next one may be slightly worse than this one so why take the chance.'
3)'Should thy flop 3 to the flush, believe the turn and river will prove fruitful.'
4)'Any 2 hole cards that contain pictures should be raised regardless'
5)'2 cards of the same suit should always be raised regardless of rank.'
6)'Position is for the weak of skill and mind.'
7)'if in doubt of your abilities a re-raise all in should do the trick.'
8)'Ace high will provide much profit.'
9)'If thy needs runner runner straight, with correct meditation, they will come.
and most importantly
10) Never fold as a rich man cannot enter the Kingdom of heavan so by blowing your bankroll ultimately will give you a seat on the right hand of the Lord. This and antagonising a few serious players on the way will always earn extra brownie points on Judgement Day'
Take these rules and live by them, but you have been warned..............
Actual living proof bingoism is here and growing in strength......
Practising commandment number 2 i think, although his persona must remain unknown for his own safety, he is a true bingoist that should be watched and admired.
'the amount of times i fold rubbish and then hit two pair is very high its worth playing any two cards iv found'
Being bingologicaly challenged would be a massive disadvantage here together with the fact that you do not posses any special phsycic ability means you will be queueing outside Barclays faster than a dole monkey on giro day.
I think I have come across the perfect soloution which has been staring us in the face all the time.
Sky very often offer locked tourney's, right? Well, lets have a locked area for non bingoists. Before you are allowed to enter this area, you have to answer a series of questions. If answered correctly by the true bingoist then the area becomes permanently locked. Thus blocking his path for ever into the area of the site that respects raises, folds rags etc.
I have put together a few questions to start Sky off, sent it to Sky Rich who thinks this is workable and hopefully they will have this in place by 28th october 2045. Much sooner than your plan.
1) you are under the gun with 4 5 off suit, do you:
A) raise 3 x bb
C) what does under the gun mean and what is bb?
2) Where is mecca?
A) it is the holiest of the Islamic cities.
C) Sorry, stilll struggling to work out what under the gun means, is it something to do with being trapped under a cannon?
Anyway, you get the idea. Simple to implement and the answer to all our prayers.
