An Ironic Tale
I found this incident very ironic. I'm at a .25/.50 table on Absolute trying to play enough hands to finally clear my bonus. A guy sits down and immediatley starts losing and whining about every hand he plays. He plays 7To and loses his pair of 7's to an overcard on the board and bitches about the bad flops. I take pity on him and chat that maybe it is his preflop play that needs work and that 7To might not have been the best hand to go to the river on. I suggest he might want to read a book or 2. He says that all his good hands are losing so he might as well play some of his bad hands, ( a classic line), he wins all the time at the dorms, and what do I know since I hardly play any hands. I tell him he is correct and that I am just commiserating with him and that really what he should do is go in every hand and be aggressive. That is what I would do but I don't have the heart for it. He agrees and proceeds to call EVERY SINGLE PRE FLOP, FLOP, & TURN losing all his money in about 10 minutes. He then asks me what he should do since my advice is not working. I tell him to stay the course and buy Phil Hellmuth's book and follow his advice exclusively. He agrees, buys in again and does the same thing all over again. He then goes to another table to change his luck, I follow him there and he does the same thing all over again. And then at a 3rd. table. I feel sorry for him, but not that sorry.
