Poker Etiquette 101

 Preflop: Hero is MP3 with 10, A 4 folds, Hero bets $0.30, 3 folds, BB calls $0.20  

Flop: ($0.65) 9, Q, Q (2 players) BB checks, Hero bets $0.40, BB calls $0.40  

Turn: ($1.45) J (2 players) BB checks, Hero checks  

River: ($1.45) 8 (2 players) BB bets $1.00, Hero raises $3.30, BB calls $2.30 (All-In)

Total pot: $8.05

Results: BB had Q, Q (four of a kind, Queens). Hero had 10, A (straight, Queen high).


I don't mind losing to quads; that's just poker.

Nor do I mind my RR on the river, as the opponent's notes indicated he was very bluffy and you have to be willing to bet the river when you think you're ahead. Sure, the board was paired, but I liked my read on the opp, and still do. Further, given the relatively short stack of the villain, I wasn't risking a sizable fraction of my 'roll.

Okay, deep breath, bug.

What I do mind in the hand, however, was the bozo's slow roll at the showdown. Yes, our villain actually clicked his time button and used up nearly all of his bank before calling my all-in. This, folks, is not cool.

Not cool at all.

All-in for now...

  1. Then, maybe he has a note you that says "slow rolling this player puts him on TILT BIG TIME." :-)
