15K buyin @ .5/1

Had to tell you guys about this, was playing .5/1 last night @ Empire, trying to clear the bonus when a guy sits down with over 15K. He plays a couple of hands and then announces that he is going to cap every hand pre flop. Sure enough he was true to his word...he capped every flop and almost every street...actually had a fish at the table that decided to play his game. I actually limped with AA once. He said he was a $1000 no limit player who was trying to get himself off tilt (as per Negraneau?). Anyway, he stayed for about 100 hands and then announces that this was his last hand and he was going to cap every street...I'm praying for a hand and sure enough I get KK. So it's me, the big guy and the fish, every street is capped and I win a 42 BB pot, actually won 60 BB at the table in just over an hour. Couldn't have happened at a better time, just coming off a 170 BB downswing...I think I said "I love you man" to him about 4 or 5 times...lol. When he left I gave him a very sincere thank you.

I personally keep a stress ball on my desk for tilt, I guess some people are crazier [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Nice story! Thanks for posting.

The funny thing is that the guy was actually catching cards...he only lost around $100...and the fish was up a little when the guy left...but I got most of that...lol.

Nice of him to give charity like that. Glad you got some of it. I had $1500 at a .5/1 table today as I was bonus clearing, but I just did that to harass an annoying table coach (long story).

cool story dude.

Whats the theory behind going on tilt to get off tilt?

To blow off steam mainly I think?

I buy in for $2 sometimes at UB's 0.01/0.02 NL game and go all in with pretty much anything. Its all in fun when you don't care about the stakes your at

Here's the link to Daniel Negreanu's explaination of the drill, which he calls nutbar.
