Why I play on Party (no content)

[Paul2432]

Strangely enough, I've seen it happen twice in a B&M where the board counterfieted a low pocket pair, the player holding the pair exposes his hand at showdown and the opponent mucks.

Last time was just a couple of weekends ago in a 2/5 NLHE game at the Borg.

Funnily enough, other than the river raise/cap, this wasn't trememdously awful by villian. I would have folded pre-flop and raised the flop, but those are much closer than the river raise.

This is another one from yesterday that I found hilarious. Not so much the hand, but the chat that happened after:

Button: i'm loving u fuc.kers rivering me every time
Hero: I had the best hand on every street, tho
Button: no you didn't
Hero: you paired the ace
Hero: I won on kickers
Hero: erego, I was winning all the way
Button: wrong
Hero: blame the software then
Hero: that's what said it
Button: [audible silence which lasted the rest of the session]

Note the eerie similarities between the above and the dialogue between King Arthur and the Black Knight.

Well, at least he didn't call you with "J high!"

[djoyce003]

yeah, playing no limit on party the other night, I raise preflop with AK of diamonds. Flop is 10 j 3, two diamonds. I have a gutshot straight, plus flush draw. Turn is the queen of hearts, giving me the nut straight. River is a diamond. Some guy with a pair of queens accuses me of "rivering" him. DOH!

[jono]

I bet he put you KQ.

[7ontheline]

Wouldn't he have to put me on something like 76s?

[ErrantNight]

where's your flop raise?

why is it funny/cool that this "suckout" artist left your table?

if you had an ace, when would YOU start to give credit for the fourth jack?

are you sure they weren't laughing at the shear ridiculousness of the hand?

In my opponent's defense, I had been doing my share of bet-folding prior to this:

. . . So maybe I picked up a couple of bets on this hand with those previous folds, if my opponent had been paying attention. But I also think this hand shows the dangers of the bet-fold line, on Party 2/4.

Edit: (I guess maybe my opponent thought it was an obviously split pot that he might be able to buy.)
