Hot poker tip

Hot poker tip
So it's my usual game. We've been playing together about 5 years so we mostly know each other. But tonight I was distracted by a sudden and violent attack of the "green apple splammers" half way through the game.

Interesting, in spite of the disastrous effect on my concentration, I ended up £25 quid up from a £10 buy in in less than 90 minutes. People just kept calling me.

Which leads me to think I must have a tell. Obviously when I'm bluffing I generally look like a man struggling to control a violent bowel movement.

I'm not sure if this is a useful discovery or not.

I'm a decent poker player. I actually prefer Five-Card Stud, which just isn't as popular as Texas Hold 'Em these days. I tell you though, if I play a certain caliber of player, I get my ass kicked hard.

True of all of us. There's always someone better.

Edited: Sorry picture was far too big.

It was a red hot tip of a fire poker

Completely failed attempt at humour.

That's a big poker. What do you do with that thing?

ETA: Maybe a little smaller image?

Did you start a fire and heat up a poker for that joke? If so that's the greatest thing I've seen in a while, and absolutely NOT a failed attempt at humor. That is commitment!

I've never played anyone better than me.

RE: Hot poker tip
when i play poker i tend to over-think and forget how fucking stupid my opponents are

sometimes a drink or two just gets me playing so confident and direct that i don't fuck around with any complex theories

somehow what looks like an obvious fold to me just looks like an obvious call to a lot of fish

oh i have king five under the gun, i think i will limp and then call an all-in on any flop when my five hits

hurr durr

fucking idiots
