Deep Stack Pool gets fuller

unknown_username

Since the kind people at Sky changed the late night Deep Stacks to £2 there is no doubt the pool of players has increased. However I get the feeling the fish stocks have also gone up and I thought it might be interesting for members of the forum to come up with a few fish and why they represent the fish chosen.

No I'm not asking players to name and shame but to use game terms to link to real fish.

Hope people find this interesting and I will add a couple to start.

The Carp - bets three times big blind to the river then moans on chat when they don't hit.

King Carp - as above buts swears when they don't hit.

Goldfish - always hits the river

Flounder -never hits river

Bass - Plays with a case of beer beside them, most of them empty

I could go on but i'll leave some for other people and I'm sure there are people who could come up with better ideas.

Apologies if this been done before or if you think waste of Forum space. If not have fun.   

LadyFingrs

Rainbow trout - Plays badly in pink hotpants and nippl tassle's.
Angler Fish - Folds out of turn in the BB when Its folded to the SB, then when the SB raises, he 3 bets.
PLOnkton - Buy's in 300BB's deep and only plays the nuts
Minnow - Buys in for the table minimum

Hale72

Dogfish - Always come from behind and hits that magical river.

Thanks LadyFingrs

Gudgeon - only bets blind levels even when they hit nuts on the river

Pike -snatches the minnow just as you about to real him in

Now that you've posted a picture I can see the resemblance.

Hi Barry

I know Tikay is a gent and I didn't think he would take offence.

Just being a bit cheeky to the Master was slightly worrying

Thnx for your input MereNovice

Shark- the king fish, however big the bait he'll take it and you with it

Talon

  The whaleshark- looks like easy pickings and before you know what has happened he has all your cash
  The Rock Salmon-  never puts money in without having the nuts but still gets paid off

Kiwini4u

OK so I know its not a fish, but how about:-

The Octopus - Always raises 8 times the BB.

unknown_username

Thanks Talon and Kiwini

Plaice - Folds and folds and then with position up from the depths to grab you

As you can probably tell, I have very little to do this morning...

Tuna: Someone who plays poker whilst listening to the radio.

Yellow Fin Tuna: As above, but Scandinavian and suffering from jaundice.

Shark: An aggressive player, with a macabre avatar, involved in many pots, who frequently uses the chat-box to dish out peurile insults and badly disguised cuss words. These players are usually 16 year old boys, playing from a small bedroom in Theydon Bois, the walls of which are bedecked with Slipknot posters, and pictures of scantily clad ladies draped over Lamborghinis.

Battered Cod: A fishy player, and the recipient of a sound thrashing in the chat-box.

Blue Wale: A player who shouts colourful invective at their monitor, having suffered a recent suck-out.

Mullet: A player with bad hair. Usually American, and typically a fan of both types of music: Country and Western.

Mull-it: Not to be confused with the above, although similar in sound. A 'Mull-it' is a player who uses all of their allotted time allowance, every time, before they fold every single hand.

Clown Fish: A player with a big red nose, baggy trousers and an exploding car. Usually dishes out abuse, simply by throwing a bucket of confetti and glitter over their victim.

Angel Fish: An innocent-looking player, dressed in white.

Devil Fish: A highly adept player, who will wink frequently at your girlfriend, whilst robbing your chips. This player is especially useful for getting you back into your house after you've lost your keys (or for a larger cash consideration: the NatWest bank vault in Edgeware Road).

Crab: A tough, impenetrable player, proficient at clawing and nipping at your chip stack. Easily spotted by their quirky, sideways gait as they approach the table.

Kipper: A player that lives on the Isle Of Man (presumably for tax purposes), that makes your kitchen smell bad if you try cooking them.

Sturgeon: a mathematically precise, clinical player, that can draw blood with a few deft swipes of a scalpel.

Goldfish: Inexperienced player that ends up, quite literally in the sewer, having encountered a big flush.

Dover Sole: A player from Kent, within striking distance of the ferry to France (and the white cliffs), and possibly a fan of music.

Sardines: A bunch of players that have to sit too close together around a small table. Usually drenched in brine.

Eel: A slippery, unfathomable chap, difficult to get a handle on, who seeming plays any two cards, i.e.: Sammy George.

Sprat: One that whilst holding the absolute nuts, insists on placing small, enticing bets at every street, giving a losing player the correct odds to continue losing their money.

Mackerel: a player caught by the above.

Dolphin: a popular, benevolent-looking player, with an affinity for children, who communicates by using a clicked tongue. Navigates their way to casinos via a nose-mounted sonar, and then attacks Sharks by butting them in the belly with their snout. Usually captured early in their poker career, and forced to entertain the public by jumping out of water, through hoops. These players once garnered huge public concern, when swathes of them were inadvertently caught in nets, that were originally designed to capture Scandinavian players with yellow skin and a love of the wireless.

Monk Fish: A faithful player who religiously chases gut shots, often praying to the poker gods for salvation. Easily spotted by their tonsure.

Quality.
Thank you for this, FlutNush.

I really hope Dave Ulliott doesn't pop in every now and again!!!

I do hear he has a few pairs of concrete boots that need filling.

I made the mistake of upsetting DU here and for some reason, a few days later, someone came round and cut the heads off all my grass.


Mind you, it needed doing, but he could have done the weeding while he was at it!

Thank you MereNovice, Hale and Elsa for your ideas, but the posters award goes to FlutNush for his brilliant post. Great entertainment value and so many so true.

I forgot the most obvious one, nicked from a Dorothy L Sayers novel,

Five Red Herrings -for the five buffers, I mean bluffers sitting at the table with you.

Also Lump Fish -Pillowman, but I don't think he appreciated it, sorry M8.

Bless you all for your contributions.

Thanks for your kind comments guys, much appreciated.

I'm just here to serve the community and spread some joy in harsh economic times... in my own happy-go-lucky-pea-brained way, etc, etc... 

And to fritter all of my time away on a forum, talking a load of old tosh, obviously.
