Here is a thread to post some of the more "entertaining" things you have heard from the ATMs at your game.

There is this guy we play with, Big John. We often discuss his play with great laughter the day after at work. Sometimes he asks us how he could play it differently and that usually causes him to tilt his head in confusion. I'm sure he rode the short bus to school.

As sent in group email - not kidding, he is leading the discussion of his weekly beating.

"...however I really got hurt in the Bahrain tournament at Stooge's house in (insert location here). I lost more than I've ever, in the larger figures than I'm used to. However, I budget for this kind of hurting, what I'm not banking on is that freaking Goofy will just keep on pounding us like some kind of crazy man hand after hand, just accumulated repeated buy-ins without any change in pattern."

That probably means about 10 buy ins for Big John...

When I had my regular game going years ago we had a regular that was a terrible player, we'll call him Bob. Bob would drop a few hundred to a grand every weekend with the occasional winning night. He would always ask why every time he got into a hand with one particular guy (Bob II) he always ended up losing. He was convinced every time they got into a big hand Bob II was bluffing. It got to the point that if those two started firing at each other you got out of the way unless you had a monster.

I finally asked him a long time later why he always went after him when he lost so often. "Well the first time I played in a hand with Bob II he bluffed and showed me so I haven't believed him ever since." I just kind of shook my head to which he responded, "It payed off eventually when I won a $1000 pot off him." I decided to keep my comments to myself after that...didn't want him to hear the slight tapping on the glass...

We had a new guy playing with us Friday night. He admitted he hadn't played in 10 years (but I later talked to a guy who used to play with him, and he stunk back then too) and he was kind of an odd guy, but he was a nice enough guy and he had cash, so have a seat!
"Can you stop playing with your chips?"
"Can we turn off the tv?"
But the best one, after he'd lost 3 buyins, and then as a last resort, he bought in for $10 (in a .25/.50 NLHE game): "Let's raise the blinds"

My college group has a guy named Vance. He generally loses more than he wins. But you can always count on him either being the biggest loser or biggest winner on the night. No in between with him. He's made some mind numbing plays over the years and has delivered terrible beats to all of us at one point or another. The game would honestly be a little boring without him. He creates a lot of action.

One night sticks out a few years ago. He showed up to our cash game over an hour late, and drunk. Then proceeded to win most of the chips on the table in only an hour. We all decided it wasn't our night and cashed out to go to the bar. We were all in disbelief.

My friends and I run a little $10.00 cash game for couples. There are a core group of 7 with occasional visits by friends and family members to make up numbers. We play BS poker (wild cards allowed and encouraged) until 11:00 and then it is $.05/$.10 blinds until midnight or thereabouts.. We allow straddling during the NLHE, but I am the only one who does it on a regular basis. My best friends wife is an ATC player but last night, one of the other wives topped her. I straddled to the usual groans and comments that I was wasting my $$$. Action comes back to me after 2 folds and the remaining players calling the BB (5 handed). I look down at AKss and immediately toss in an additional 75 cents. Wife #2 asks why so much without seeing any cards, to which I respond that "I've seen these two, and that's enough". So, she calls, as does ATC, while everyone else gets out of the way. ATC is first to act on a flop of AK4 rainbow. She bets out for 25 cents (!!!) into a pot containing $3.25, I raise to a $1.00 which gets the other player starts with the "why so much" again, but calls as does ATC. Now, ATC calling indicates that she has caught part of the flop, but not a monster. She gets very stubborn in these situations so I decide to let her run the action. turn brings a 9c which puts a flush draw on board. ATC bets out for a whole dollar this time, and I decide to shove because neither player has more than a pot sized raise left in their stacks. BOTH call . . . ATC with a naked King, and the other player with her ten high flush draw. River pairs the 9 and I take down the pot.

When asked why she called on the flop, second player said she had a flush draw. Flop

Isn't the iron eagle the big guy that loves any and all types of beer? Hot, cold, cheap or old?
