Trifecta

[sfer]

Bakku and CDC were witnesses. It was like a triple checkraise and a triple reverse checkraise. The second one I've pulled off, and it was sweet. When I pull one live I'm going to spooge all over the table.

Sweet.

Why didn't you cap the flop and/or the turn? (Just curious.)

I was wondering that too.

After the hand did you say, "you got served bitch!"?

When he 3-bet the flop I immediately started thinking trifecta. When he 3-bet the turn I knew I had him.

[sfer]

I just wrote "Trifecta!"

SFer explaining why he didn't cap the flop or turn: When he 3-bet the flop I immediately started thinking trifecta. When he 3-bet the turn I knew I had him.

In game theory, they explain behavior like this through "extrarational motivators"--in this case, SFer's pathological desire to pull off a triple-checkraise.

EDIT: It's "extrarational," not "extra rational." Ironically, these two things mean the exact opposite of one another.

EDIT2: Unlike "flammable" and "inflammable," which ironically mean the exact same thing. I found that one out the hard way.

And I got reverse checkraised all 3 times!
