How did I do?
 
So, I stroll into the gym late one night, looking to pump some iron.

So, I see this fatass who thinks he's ripped who I occasionally spot. As he's loading up 100's for some tricept excercise, he greeets me with "Hey, small frye, haven't seen you in a while?"

I took off my hat and replied..."Hey fatass, save some weight for the rest of us."

How did I do?

What's the correct

The correct response as Glenn pointed out was "Hey fatass, do you plan on lifting those weights or eating them!"

That's just plain witty.

Actually it was "Are you gonna lift those weights or eat them, you fat f***?" The exact phrasing matters, do you see why?

If he's loading up plates of 100s for tris, you should stfu. Do you see why?

The action so far dictates that you are probably way behind. I don't think that you want to "see a flop" on this hand. I would fold.

Is there a cap headsup in your gym? On second thought, I'd fold to a reraise. Screw the implied odds.

I think there is an option everyone is neglecting to consider here. What about smooth-calling his raise and waiting for the turn? He's bound to give you lots of action when you drop the hammer then.

You are completely wrong. Being that he's fat, he's also slow. JV, while a tool, isn't fat, so this guy can't catch him. Played correctly, you can get him to chase you around the gym while you bob, weave, and taunt him, until he finally collapses from exhaustion. You guys need to learn to become multidimensional players.

This is first a problem of bench selection. Secondly, you forget to look left and notice the two hotties doing deep squats.

Being fat and slow myself, please note that our kind have greater than normal abilities in action prediction and spatial relations (To aid us in avoiding obstacles with least effort and intercepting food deliveries) The gym is a very cluttered place full of dead ends and corners. I you're going to fast with top pair and even though you may have a few outs, you will probably lose to the slow played tri(p)'s

If you're going to ridicule this guy, avoid the showers. I'll let others elaborate.

between the posts of you at the gym teasing fat guys and you scoring girls w/ your bros in hermosa beach you sound like a serious closet homosexual.

As explained on p. 146 of WOFAL, this is a common misconception.

It is quite risky for tools to attempt advanced plays as you describe.

Rather than multidimensional, this is really just "fancy play syndrome" and should be avoided. I will let others elaborate.

PS: The phrase "loading up 100's" as used in the initial post is hilarious. Do you see why?

i would simply be at 8 gyms at the same time and let the fatass' mistakes amplify 8 times as fast. my expected rate should be somewhere around 1BB/gym/hr (BB = bad beating).

also by the way, i would probably be able to get fatass on tilt before i go on the inevitable tilt myself...

oh,

even though common sense tells me this is a bad play, you sound very proud of it, so i guess you won? and are you ever going to post the times where you were behind the whole time?

It bothers me that this gets more replies than some actual interesting questions. I thought you were better than this JV [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]. Though I guess you are keeping with your mantra of not spewing back S&M book plays which is good.

Anyway I could've worked in the good-girl bad-girl machine into my retort? If I get that in, he's certainly one upped.

Re: How did I do?
 
I'm all for using S&M as the guiding core of knowledge. If it weren't for their books I'd still be taking AJ to my grave, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna stand idly by and let some 1-2er quote S&M to me.

Unfortunately, I think it's unavoidable. As even I was once a young tadpole quoting S&M to 3-bet-brett, like I was a MFing poker genius.

I want it on the record that I have nothing against the spatially challenged.

Plus, he started it.

"Hey, small frye, haven't seen you in a while?"

"It's probably not as long as you think, this Atkins diet is real good"
