Things that baffle you

starting_at_the_bottom · Jun 10, 2020

What sort of things do you see at the table that make no sense whatsoever? I will start off with a short list.

1) Waiting to post the big blind, but then proceesing to play every single hand. Was there really any point in waiting?
2) Limp shoving pre flop. Just what?
3) Watching every player check the flop and then min betting on the button, but then folding after getting raised. Maybe take the free turn card next time and stop min betting.
4) Ranting at the fish when they get lucky. We want to ensure that the fish stay fish, thats were all our money comes from. So next time they get lucky say well played, nice hand or nothing at all.

The "all in" first hand people. I have seen this not just online, but in live play as well. They probably were online players anyway. One live tourney in particular, two friends sitting next to each other, first hand looked at each other, nodded and together said: "First hand, all in", both shoved, one after the other. Both lost, why? What was the point of that? SMH......

There is one answer to everything. Most players come from casino slot machines and play as usual, lucky or not. usually these are young people who don’t think about anything. except the basic instincts of any animal.

Yes, that is very weird.
The obvious question I have about your post - "Who was the third person to go All-in and take their money?"
I have done that ONLY once in a live game.
A player two seats to my right went all-in. I looked at my hole cards - AA. What would you do? Heads-up with the best possible hand, I had no choice.
Other player held AA so we split the blinds. He was closer to the button and got the extra chip.

What confuses me several times is that when I'm not playing a thousand times my hand hits nuts and that super aggressive villain has nothing and wins and accumulates chips.

Then I choose a premium game hand and right in my round he has a better hand or hits that sort of crack on the river for him.

Another thing I don't understand is that everyone goes all in at the beginning of the game or with any hand. this is very boring because everything is at random, because many times we have two or three people in it.

people complaining about the all-in fest during the early stages of a freeroll. its really not that hard to get through, seriously.

oh no, you had to fold the first 10-20 hands of a freeroll.

Personally, nothing confuses me. The game always brings me pleasure regardless of my opponents or the result. In order to become a successful player, you must be able to enjoy the process of the game.

Many times it baffles me when we are aggressively flopping hand to hand, up to the river and it shows a game that nothing to do, pure bluff ,,, example j2, and I say .... incredible hahaha

Have a good hand (A A), then lose against hands (2 5), because k 3 6 Q 4 falls on the table

Players who use their max time bank every single hand and every single street of every hand they play. Fortunately I've only encountered one person who makes a point of dong this every time he plays. Unfortunately he and I play the same day of the same poker league every week.

nothing confuses me even because I don’t pay attention to what the opponent writes trying to destabilize or takes a long time to bet by believing that he has a good hand and bet, I’ve already caught several bluffs like that.

I agree wit everything you stated. Trying to think of something too add but nothing pops up. Maybe I will respond later.

People that go all win in every hand.

Either I have seen it all or developed a tougher skin to some of the idiosyncrasy of players. Any more it doesn't seem baffling just almost normal. Get little chuckle, a eye roll and just move on to the next one.

if you're confused, the 25 hand makes a straight on that board.
