Re: Stupidest poker strategy/statements ever heard...
One time at a live charity game a player told me after I flopped a set with AA and he had AK for TPTK that he'd rather have AK than AA, citing that its better to have a hand you can't overplay and that he had one of my "outs". I asked him if he was sure he wouldnt have AK rather than KK, becuase I could almost understand that, since many people take KK too far with an ace on board, but he said, "What do you think, Im stupid? I meant what I said." And he wasn't kidding- in fact he was getting angry that the other players were all snickering. yet when I told him I would find an off duty dealer and we could run the hands cold 100 times for $10 a hand, or whatever increment he wished, he flatly rejected my offer. So not only did he make one of the worst strategic claims ever, he didn't even mean what he said when he said, "I mean what I said."
