So, for the first time in my brief poker career, a player got angry with me at the table. The craziest part is, he wasn't even in the hand. Here is what transpired:
I am dealt A9 3 from the button. It's folded to me and the table has gotten fairly tight, so I figure this is a good time to try to steal. I raise and it works, well until the big blind calls. So, the two of us see a flop of:
Q 8 Q rainbow. I decide to give it one more shot to see if I can get him to fold. I bet, he calls.
The turn brings an A. I figure if he has a Q I am about to find out. I bet he calls, I feel ok but not great.
River is a blank, I check he checks. He shows KK and I win. I was stunned by this, so I typed "wow, you shoulda reraised me." He realizes this and types something like "ya, I know."
But, the guy to my left, not even involved in the hand, types "what's the point if you're raising with A9 off anyways? Not like you'll fold."
Now I am even more stunned. So I just type in "lol, you're right." I then prayed for AA.
