Had a fun hand the other day. Not super high level strat, pretty much played itself. Thought it would be fun to have people guess what V's had in this one.

Couple hours into my home game and the night is really ramping up. Chips are starting to fly. One of my good buddies, V1, brought a friend tonight, V2.

V1 I've referenced in other hands as "hyper-lag". He's def the guy at our game I hate playing against. Our other good players are pretty straight forward TAG and while tough, are far more predictable. V1's BTN and CO range are wide as the Grand Canyon. He's good at punishing in position and exploiting his cultivated maniac image into tons of value with the goodies.

V2 hasn't played at our game until tonight. He seems to be playing well under his normal stakes/gambol threshold and is splashing it up a ton, only showing aggression and thinking when gunning for V1. V1 and V2 have been at each other all night while the rest of us sit back.

V1 has run his stack up to the big stack and covers, obv. V2 was up huge but quickly is dumping it all back to V1 and others. Eff stacks 150 BB V1 and V2 cover.

V2 opens 20BB EP
V1 calls BTN

I'm in SB and look down at :kh::ks:.

I pop it up to 80 (!!) BB. This felt like the most I could raise and get V2 to continue his entire range. He wasn't folding anything short of garbage here. And V1 wasn't folding, both due to pot odds, position, and a chance to gun at BOTH V2 and H, who he knows is only doing this with premiums in this spot. He loves trying to bust my monsters.

V2 and V1 call.

Flop (~245 BB)

:6s::4d::3s:

I insta-shove my remaining 70 BB.

V2 hems and haws and counts out 70 BB, leaving him another 10 BB or so. Puts it all in.

V1 makes the call.

So, what did V1 and V2 have?

Wow! I mean, wow. I had not considered the option of each having more or less complete garbage for starters. How much alcohol is drunk at your game, did you say?
 
Not to undercut this story by any means (it's better than mine anyway), but I had a similarly WTF hand at a game a couple weeks ago.

$1/3 NL and UTG+1 opens to $12, three callers and I pick up KsKc in the BB. I bump it to $55 and UTG+1 4-bets to $120. Folds around to me.

This is only the second time I've played with UTG+1. All I know about him is that he's primarily a tourney player (but a successful one). Game has only been going for maybe an hour and a half. I have $360ish and he covers.

I think for maybe 3 seconds and ship. He thinks for about 5 and calls. He asks, "once or twice?" I say I don't care. He asks what I have, I table my kings and he says, "twice I guess" and tables KQo.

He says, "I figured I had overs." LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.
 
Played on Pokerstars today for the first time since 2006 (didn't even know I had an account; had to look it up - apparently I somehow have 114k in play money, go me!) I sat at a 5/10 table with 1k just for a few minutes to familiarize myself with the interface before I put actual money on the line against you sharks. About 5 hands in the following hand went down:

UTG raises to 20
UTG+1 (me) raises to 70
UTG+2 3-bets to 120
UTG+3 calls 120
Folds around to BB who calls 120
UTG calls
I ship it for 870
All 4 call (lololol)

Flop is 223r. A couple of the players have a couple hundred left and get it in. Hands are turned up:

UTG: QJo
Me: TT
UTG+2: AJ s00ted
UTG+3: 53o
BB: Q8o

Turn 9. River A. Is it wrong that I was actually pissed off for like, 1.5 seconds? :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:
 
I would say that it's wrong, but then my brother's number 1 sure fire way to tilt me is to tell me in detail all of his play money poker stars bad beats, like they are the worst thing to ever happen to any human in existence ever. Ok, it's actually his number 2 way to tilt me. His number 1 way to tilt me is pronouncing the J in Julio Jones' first name like a J instead of like an H.

Brother, you've got it easy. I live near a tiny rural community, just off of a road bearing the same name, named after a world-famous French palace (you know the one.) The "official local pronunciation" of said placename is the English-phonetic pronunciation. I'm on insta-mega-life-tilt every time I leave the house. I try to go with the flow, but this I can NOT do - every time I hear it, I start looking around for the nearest bridge that I can forcibly propel myself off of. This will NEVER EVER pass my lips, and I don't care how many of the "locals" I have to piss off. Change CAN happen. :rolleyes:

I grew up near Phenix City, Alabama. I can relate.

Oh my. Lol.

Def sounds like a tourney player not paying attention to stack depth in a cash game.

He can't have it both ways. It's either Julio Jones or Hulio Hones. I prefer to pronounce it the 'Merican way.
 
A previous company I worked for had offices in Vancouver (where I live) and acquired another company in Bedford MA. They all laughed at me when I pronounced it "Bed-furred" ... you know, the way it's spelled? No no no, they said, it's "Bed-fuhd". OK, fine.

The laughing stopped the next time they referred to "Vancouvah". I stopped them cold right there - Where? Oh, you mean Vancouverrrrr. It's pronounced with an R at the end. You know, the way it's spelled.

This. So much this. I've heard them all, so I just stopped correcting them and just go with the ones they pronounce.
 
Worcester = Woohster
Gloucester = Gl-ow-Ster

But what really mashes my potatoes is Peabody. It's Pea-bawdy. PEA. LIKE THE FUCKING VEGETABLE.

Everyone someone says Pee-biddy I start making pictures in pbrush of Sean Combs in front of a wall of small round green vegetables. Makes me crazy. Or, as the locals would say it, "Craw-zi-Ster" of fuckin' whatever.
 
OG Gloucester (i.e. the one in England) = GLAW-ster. Hertford = Hartford and Derby = Darby - in that weird British language, all vowels make the same AW-ful sound. :p

@bergs - what exactly is the difference between PEA (the vegetable) and PEE (urine?) Anywhere that I know of, both sound exactly the same.
