Dumbest move you've ever made - Page 2

I was playing 7-stud at a home game, and had had a few beers...

I'm calling my 2 pair all the way, then I hit my boat against a flush, and go nuts, cap the pot. I proudly flip over my full house - and see 2 pair. I had been trying to track folded cards that affected my hand, and my neighbour folded a three, so I had played the entire hand thinking I had two pair. My friends laughed at me, for a very long time. In fact, they still do it. Especially when I misread my straight this weekend... [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

I've told people before that I've had the nuts...only I've never actually had somebody fold to me when I've said it. Dumb bastards.

I was learning the game of Omaha. I was reading the rules and thought: "Hey, you must use only two cards from your hand. Okay, sounds easy."

First hand I'm ever dealt? 4444. I freak out, push allin, and realized how stupid I was.

When I was first learning Hold'em, someone was bluffing EVERY hand. So, I called with Q7. He had K-something and I was out. Didn't think I made a mistake either. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

On a few occasions, i started being agressive on a paired board with my somewhat low pocket pair or 1 of my cards maching the 3th flop card for 2 pairs. Then didn't notice the board pairing again higher than my pair and keep continuing the agression without even having a usefull kicker to the boards 2 pairs.

Recently, i was 4 tabling and got QTs in late position. A hand i normally would have played there. In my hury as i was also busy with the other tables i noticed the suitedness just after i pressed fold. Of course, the flop came with 3 cards of that same suit.
Not really a huge -EV mistake by itself, but pretty painfull in this particular situation [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

3/6 holdem at local casino a few years ago. I flop an ace high flush draw and call to the river. Normally passive player who has been betting the whole way, bets into me on the river after I have missed my flush. I think I had A2spades and all I was looking for was spades, I fold on the river after backdooring the nut straight. I didn't even realize until someone said that they folded the ace for the straight. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

board made trips, then a 9 fell, i had a nine (for a boat). friend raised and i said to her "god i already know the outcome of this hand", i called, then called again on the river. she turned over ace high and thought that i meant i knew the outcome was a split pot...i didn't raise with what i *KNEW* was the best hand (only i thought 2 people had it!)

I was dealing out a hand in a home game, I had already folded and I believe it was heads-up after the flop. The guy next to me had showed me his hole cards, I think he had a set after the flop and was slowplaying them.

After dealing the turn, I burned another card and previewed the river. Hmm, king of diamonds.

Unfortunately, this wasn't an internal thought. I had just said, "Hmm, king of diamonds" out loud. Everyone just looked up and just stared at me. I think my friend's stare was more of a "You just cost me all his chips you friggin moron" glare.

I smoothly covered myself by turning bright purple and stuttering "Uh, uh, what I meant to say was..." and trailing off. Turn was checked. I deal the king on the river. Friend bets, other guy folds. I'd put this behind me if I could, except whenever that king of diamonds shows up on the board, I hear it from every side: "Ooooh, king of diamonds!"

I'm stupid. Don't think out loud.

I don't know why your friend glared at you, or why you didn't think of reshuffling, but that is so funny. I can just imagine seeing someone think out loud like that, i ncluding the "hmmm", scratching his chin and looking down, not noticing the hand being played. I'm actually laughing out loud

That one's my favorite.

My dad plays in a home game that includes omaha hi lo except you have 5 hole cards AND you can play your 5 hole cards rather than the board if you want. Too bad weren't playing in that game, huh?
