Really funny conversation about poker
I had a conversation earlier with a friend of mine I play poker with. I was laughing so hard I was almost in tears, I had to share his views. I'll admit, I was kind of just baiting him along after a while, it was just too funny. And no, I am not making this up.
Me: what do you like better, when there is lots of raising preflop, or when people limp most hands? Friend: limp I think Friend: you? Me: raising. why do you like limping? Friend: it's more random with bigger raises Friend: I want it to be about skill and reading people Friend: not the randomness of what comes Me: interesting Me: is that why you usually call preflop? Friend: I don't usually call Me: why not then? Friend: why don't I usually call? Friend: it depends on the bet size for whether I call, but I tend to fold most hands Me: yeah, if you like limping preflop, doesn't it make sense to call Friend: oh, yeah... more often Friend: but our pots will be big later Friend: I'd rather lose my money to something where I have some knowledge Me: what do you mean? Friend: where it's a skill... read the person and your cards Friend: if I'm putting money in pre-flop I'd tossing it away randomly Friend: less of the game is skill Me: interesting Friend: you don't agree? Me: eh, we obviously have different views of poker Friend: how so? Friend: what's your view? Me: just more odds than yours Friend: I am talking about odds Friend: but if you're playing odds and have a choice of the odds after flop or before you know a LOT more after the flop Friend: the odds are worse for everyone pre-flop Friend: not everyone Friend: I mean.... yeah, you can't know as much Friend: you can't ever have good odds Me: weird Friend: ? Friend: what you know about a 5 card hand is a LOT more than what you know about 2 cards Me: ok Friend: is that not making sense yet? Me: it's an interesting way to play Friend: way to play? Friend: that's not a method of play Me: an interesting way of thinking then? Friend: it's a fact Friend: not really a way of thinking Friend: you know more with 5 cards than 2 Friend: the game has less risk at that point

Both of you are rather incoherent in the rest of the conversation. So, it appears your friend is more knowledgeable than you.

Re: Really funny conversation about poker
I read this thinking it would be funny - but I have no idea what either one of you were talking about.
