Poker haiku
 

After reading the Nth "can I slowplay this?" post of the past week, I came up with this:

Tried slow-playing aces
Got cracked by seven-two fish
Tearing chapter out

Anyone else want to take a stab?

That looks like six syllables. No haiku for you!


How about:

Slow-players: Beware!
Fish will call and free cards hurt
Raise for more money

I can't count outs, either. I like yours better anyway, although it's not as enigmatic as I usually like my haiku.

No way...if I had 6 syllables, you've definitely got 6.

Re: Poker haiku

Slowplaying will not
will not win you more big bets
but only bust you

Re: Poker haiku
 

Slow-played my aces
A massive suckout ensues.

Re: Poker haiku
 

Haiku is a Japanese form of poetry consisting of 3 lines with 5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second and 5 in the third. The content is just entertainment...add a little levity to an otherwise mundane day.

Re: Poker haiku
 

How about:

Bet kings on river.
Oh no, slow-playing aces?
God damn micro-donk.

Re: Poker haiku
 

missing value bets
is something you should avoid
if you like money

Re: Poker haiku
 

I dedicate this in loving memory to a poor fish I played last week whose aces just never seemed to hold up.

Trips face river raise
Fishies aces lose again
Got in free from blind

Re: Poker haiku
 

Mine is called: "What a Fish Thinks"

TAG raises preflop?
Cold call with your seven-three
only if suited.

Re: Poker haiku
 

How about

I tried the slow play
And the fish sucked out on me
Can I blame the fish

Slowplayed my aces
Sklansky Shakes Head, Disapproves
Asks, "Do you see why?"

Re: Poker haiku
 

There once was a player dealt ducks
He tossed them into the muck
When old granny raised
A set he'd have made
Instead he got Sklansky bucks

Re: Poker haiku
 

Any two suited
Chase that runner runner flush
You retarded donk

Re: Poker haiku
 

I posted my stats
after five hundred four hands
I should just play more

Jam flop hard with the nut low
Runner runner win!

Re: Poker haiku
 

He shows me trip A's
I show him my Ace High Flush
Shoulda raised that turn

Re: Poker haiku
 

Should haiku typically have some reference to a season?

Foolish limp big pair.
Aces crack like ice in spring.
Big blind got in free.

Re: Poker haiku
 

Bullets in the blind
King King is NO GOOT I scream
Capped on every street

Re: Poker haiku
 

Brought up two plus two.
A three-month-old thread sees daylight.
I must have been bored.

Re: Poker haiku
 

Slippery banjo
smokey tiger running tired

Re: Poker haiku
 

double plus ungood
falls well short of describing
the degree of suck
