Why is this a beat? And why is this in the Magazine Forum?
And why did you use RDV for cards?

And why didn't your opponent think this was rigged?

[kyro]

1. It's not, he's just an idiot.

2. See #1

3. See #2

4. I'm assuming his friends are idiots solely by association.

I had a royal flush too, once. Except I was dealt %/images/graemlins/heart.gif &/images/graemlins/heart.gif, and the flop only had the */images/graemlins/heart.gif on it. I turned the ^/images/graemlins/heart.gif and rivered the $/images/graemlins/heart.gif. My poor opponent had */images/graemlins/spade.gif */images/graemlins/club.gif for a flopped full house. Haha.

Sorry, I'm new to poker. I didn't realize not everybody played with a Wingding deck. Do you recommend the French deck?

Because he himself cut the cards after I shuffle them.

[/ QUOTE ]

How were any of your answers relevant? Your opponent was behind from the beginning. Why the hell did you use RDV when you could have just translated into KQJ, and how does cutting the cards after you shuffle them mean it's not rigged? A good mechanic can "force" a cut where he wants them.

The whole situation is just really funny. You go through all the trouble to use RDV so that no one will understand you, and then include a legend at the bottom to allow you to call people stupid if they don't read the first post thoroughly. Of course, when you see a post talking about catching the R of hearts, you're not going to read the whole thing, and now you are caught in the trap!

Actually, never mind. I am a horrible racist and I think it is hilarious that someone would use a French deck of cards. Obviously, all languages other than English are stupid and only dumb people use them.

In your head.Do you really think someone cares about your royal flush?
I'm missing the teaching of this interesting story. Perhaps I should read a poker book or something, lol.

Too much to make fun of...Um...let me see.... First of all, not that it matters as this is neither a particularly interesting, poignant, or relevant post in terms of the POINT of this forum, but let me start by saying, dude, its not that bad a beat. You had the nut flush draw and a gut shot broadway straight draw on the flop...any "D" including the "D" of /images/graemlins/heart.gif would have made you the best hand. Also, you could have caught an A or K on the turn to give you even more outs...most of the time when you flop the nut flush draw, with two overcards, and a gut shot straight draw, you will win, not that surprising. It would have been a bad beat for YOU had you caught only the nut flush on the turn, or any "D" other than the "D" of /images/graemlins/heart.gif, knowing the 7 was coming on the river to make your buddy the boat of course. You just happened to catch the best possible card imaginable. Not only that, but it can't be a bad beat for anyone if you have the absolute nuts and someone goes all-in because they have a strong hand as well, thats just being really really lucky on your part. However, if you had both gone all-in on the flop, the 7 came on the turn, and the "D" /images/graemlins/heart.gif came on the river, THAT would be a bad beat, and a bit more of an interesting story, although laughably irrelevant regardless. Also, how was this not all-in on the flop? Also, why was this posted at all? No offense, but it adds nothing to the forum IMHO. I feel I've wasted at least 10 minutes of my life that I will never get back to read this thread and respond henceforth. Oh yeah, if you're ever looking for a game...pm me your info...

off topic (not that it matters in this thread) but what is the origin of this "moran" thing? I used to think it was just a typo but I see it so much here it must be an intentional misspelling of moron. Is it some kind of 2+2 thing or what?

I live in Tacoma, Washington. I travel regularly to SoCal (LA and San Diego) and Las Vegas. My offer is still good, I just backed off because it became apparant you were going to weasel your way out of it.

And my offer to stake you your travel expenses if Striker is willing to play you 5k heads up(and if you win you just repay me, no profit necessary) is still good. But of course, Striker will not accept it.

[/ QUOTE ]

So, "name the stakes" becomes "$500/game". Got it.

If you're going to be in Vegas between July 14 and July 19, I'm up for $100. Sorry, I'm just not the high stakes player you are.

[/ QUOTE ]

Maybe you should read a book on Poker. My opponent was behind preflop but way ahead after the flop. In fact, anything but a Queen of hearts on turn and he would have won with the boat on the river.


[/ QUOTE ]

Wow, do you even know what a beat is? You're ahead pre-flop, he's slightly ahead on the flop, you're WAY ahead on the turn, and you think it's a beat?

[King_Striker]

[The Dude]

The numeric size of the stack is really quite irrelevent. If we agree to play multiple games, 30 BBs is fine with me. If we're playing only one game, I would want 50 BBs.

So, at $500/ game how many games are you willing to play?

[edge]

I'll give a third party 10:1 odds for $100 that this match doesn't happen. Any takers?

Edit: Err, I think I mean 10:1 that this match happens.

I don't know why, but this was the funniest post by far. Wow.

[King_Striker]

[The Dude]

So why not just play one bigger stack game for the whole $2500? Say 70 big bets?

I don't really have a set limit, it's just a matter of getting me motivated to travel somewhere I wouldn't otherwise.

[jman220]

Even if striker agreed, you'd definitely need to set this up at with a casino beforehand, and have the money transferred beforehand, otherwise 90 percent chance that you agree, fly down there, and striker doesn't show. But I'm guessing you know that.

[King_Striker]

[The Dude]

Souds like traveling to make this happen won't work, but if you're ever in Vegas or LA or Washington, let me know. I'm willing to play for less if I dont' have to travel specifically somewhere I otherwise wouldn't.

[King_Striker]

[bawcerelli]

Just be careful The Dude, he might bust out a R /images/graemlins/spade.gif and Z /images/graemlins/spade.gif and get hit huge with a flop Q /images/graemlins/spade.gif T /images/graemlins/spade.gif and E=MC2 /images/graemlins/spade.gif and take all your money. /images/graemlins/shocked.gif

[bdohaney]

Wow... You just made my night.

[Str8Fish]

I've gotten 3 royal flushes this past month online at pokerstars and I have ONLY played ~10k hands! Too bad they're usually pretty worthless since it's just one more person at showdown. :-( It still is very exciting to lay that one down in your opponents face.

[bawcerelli]

But don't worry The Dude because

Anybody can beat a ROYAL JACKASS!!!!!

[EricOF]

Does this deck come with surrender cards when you want to fold?

No, I think you'll find that is the Italian, not the French, deck. The French deck is specifically used to create huge appparently impenetrable plays, and then falls over at the first sign of strength. However, it does come with an excellent guide, "The Poker Players Guide to Eating Well for Once for Under $5" with a foreword by Mr K. Striker

Names the stakes, yes, do I accept, no. As far as I know I could be talking to a multi-millionaire whilling to play for $250,000 a game, should I accept it like a maniac? You're not even in it so...

[/ QUOTE ]

Then why did you say name the stakes? YOu should have specified a limit. And I've agreed to play you if you come to Vegas next week. $100.

[The Dude]

If I don't have to make special plans to travel somewhere I normally wouldn't I'd be willing to play for less than the numbers I gave above. The numbers I gave are if I have to make a special trip to LA or to Vegas. I'm probably going to be in Vegas sometime in October. I'll let you know when I set exact dates, and you can PM me or post here if you have a specific time in October you're likely to be there.
