I hope you didn't watch TILT tonight... how embarrassing...

2 things pissed me off more:

1. with 3 diamonds on the board and top 2 pair, eddie made no attempt to protect his hand. I don't know NL but slowplaying there seems incredibly stupid
2. some guy called off all his chips with JJ on a Kxy board

I saw some guy do that today at the Party 1000 No Limit table and he was limp reraised preflop to boot.

Edit, some guy just did it again at a $5+1 tourney I'm playing at work.

I just watched it right now and paused it when they showed him playing the 3 tables of poker simultaneously.

The first two monitors on the left are from Doyle's Room / VC skin. However he's not actually doing anything because the same animation / hands are being played exactly on the two monitors. The only difference is the hand is about two seconds behind on the second monitor.

I can't make out the site on the third monitor exactly, but it looks to be another VC skin. Also, even though he has action buttons on the screen no hands are face up and only one hand has been folded face down. Odd.

Don't forget, he even has the added stack of chips on the side so he can practice chip shuffling. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I'm not sure what the stack sizes are, but I agree that these overbets are pretty rediculous.

With Eddie's hand, when the turn 9 came it completed a straight and a flush yet he still pushes and gets called all in on the river. His "tell" only told him his opponent has a strong hand which could be anything from a straight, flush, set, or two pair. Ironically his opponent holds the only possible strong hand he could beat.

But yeah, I watch Tilt purely for entertainment and don't take it too seriously. If people like to think internet players are a bunch of fuggin idiots, it's not that bad of an image. It might help get more fish into sea. It's certainly better than alluding to the fact that everyone cheats at poker to win.

MD: I can't comment on how internet players react in live games, but it surprises me a bit. I thought people only table coached / ranted only because they were protected by internet anonymity and it was less of an occurence live.

His tell, if I recall correctly, was that he WASN'T strong because he wasn't tapping as opposed to earlier when he was tapping and was strong. Thus Eddie put him on a weak hand.
