The old rock got angry at me (aka "You called with a GUTSHOT??!?")

baronzeus · #1 08-01-2005, 04:58 PM

I was playing my 8/16 casino game around here. I've been pretty cold card wise, and I pick up J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T:heart in the BB (9 handed). The Old Rock (who happens to be a prop player) raises UTG, 4 cold callers, SB calls, I call. Flop comes AK4r, he bets, 4 callers, I call. Turn brings a brick, he bets, 3 callers, I call. River brings my Q giving me the nuts. I check, he bets, 2 callers, I raise, he calls, 2 callers. He turns over AA and I show my nuts.

After I take down the pot, he looks at the board and my cards. "You called me with a GUTSHOT? A GUTSHOT!?!? I can understand an open ended but a GUTSHOT?" Needless to say he looks disgusted and I guess I feel a little bad but it was a huge pot and I was happy. So I said "I got lucky" and continued stacking my chips.

After that point he would pay special attention to everything I did. He even isolated me once or twice when I raised in MP...and essentially raised the stakes of the game. He started playing back at me...and although I ended the day up a ton, I was making less money in the end when he started to play back at me, and it sucked.

WTF was I supposed to do? Fold when I was getting like 20:1 on my call to the nuts?

I just don't understand these guys. I'm sure he's a winner since the games are so incredibly terrible live...but seriously, if he ever folds his GUTSHOT!?!? getting 20:1 that says a lot.

Tell him "I'm sorry, I just sorta learned from T.V.". That will make him happy.

I'd try to get a seat on his left as soon as possible. You played it right and he doesn't understand why. Delicious.

Regards,

Commerce 9/18, about 3 months ago, I whacked somebody with almost exactly the same situation. Guy started cussing me out (funny how guys can't take it when I smack them around at the table..) I ended up losing my cool when he said something along the lines of "stupid dykey bitch of a c**t!" and snarled back (in a most unladylike manner) "I'm a dyke, huh? well then, later I'm going to go F*** your girlfriend up the ass!"

Guy stared at me for about 30 seconds, puffy red face, made as if to throw his cards at me, then started laughing his ass off, bought me a drink, and proceeded to stack off to me in about 3 more hands.

Ah, how I love making friends.

ROFLMAO while simultaneously choking on coffee!

Great comeback....isn't it funny how sometimes the hotheaded bully backs down when you give it right back at them? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Tell him you're sorry... all the way to the bank!

I love when the rocks sit in with the young guns at the MGM 4-8, 6-12, and 10-20 games. Makes for some good times in the box... I've seen rocks/older players get on the table, and while waiting for the BB to post, they witness all the "live straddles", 3, 4, and 5 betting with trash, etc... and they get right up from the table without even playing a hand... Then I'll joke to the players "now look what you did...you scared the [censored] out of that guy!" Usually brings a laugh to the group...
