Luxor 2/4 on a Friday night.
He stares back and finally speaks. "Ace high? I knew I had you the whole way."

Awesome story, man!

My correct response would have been "...ace high with the top four kickers." Zing. I thought of that one a few days later but he had left the table by then.

This was in a 3-6 but this little tiny chinese punk who is probably about 14 sits down and a couple hands later I raised with AK and f'in everyone called. Flop comes down all rags and is checked around. Turn is another rag and he bets out of the SB and when the action comes to me I look up at him and he is giving me the stare down. I say "your staring me down in a 3-6 game buddy?" he says something along the lines of "Your the tough guy who raised, where you at now"...well I folded and he showed down a hand better than my A high. For the rest of the night I gave him the stare down and mocked is raiser comment that he made to me. I then cracked his aces. He dropped like 3 racks. It was awesome. Pokah is soooooo nice

I'm keeping a blog of some of my low limit stories - and although this one is not quite a "staredown" story, I think it's good enough to post here. NOTE: These are uncensored if that bothers people. Also, please note that all quotes were taken verbatim.

Those were pretty funny, that old guy crying is both hilarious, and really sad. The Poker room is like a whole other planet...

I can't wait to hit up Commerce Saturday evening.

I was at Hawaiian Gardens last weekend playing $4/8LHE with a half kill. This douche sat down with an Oakley shirt, a pair of mirrored sunglasses, and an Oakley hat.

A 3/6 table coach sits at our table and routinely takes 10 minutes every time it's his turn to act. He's probably the most weak tight player I've ever seen, and every time he sees someone win a pot with a trash hand he says something to them about playing garbage. Everytime I'm in a pot with him and bet or raise him, and he's sitting there, I say something to the effect of "You know it's $6 to you right" just to annoy him. Finally he's heads up with another kid who clearly has almost no idea what he's doing. The kid bets and our pro sits there for a while staring him down. The dealer tells him the action is on him. He says "I know, I'm just trying to get a good look at him." Then dealer chimes in "Sir, this a $3/$6 game." We laughed him off the table.

I have a problem when I play for a really long time especially low limit. I get a little crazy. Example the other night I'm playing 4/8 at the tropicana it's like 9am I've been there since 1am. I keep debating in my head if buying 10 racks and coming back to the table with them and firing every pot up would be alot of fun. It's almost time to go I am stuck like 20 dollars or some inane amount but it is the first time I am stuck all night, and only because I paid off an obvious flush and straight. So last hand I'm in the SB with 74 soooted it's 3 bets to me I cap it. Flop is 864 giving me a pair and some kinda flush gutshot draw, which I will treat like the nuts. I check raise the flop 5 players see a non-flush king on the turn I check raise again. River four I let out this loud squell and bet 5 people call. Trip fours take it down. I rack up and cash out laughing the whole way. I love low limit B&M.

Was playing some 2-6 spread a few weeks ago. There was one guy at the table who always tried to make dramatic moves and would think he would shock people when he made a reraise or when he dramatically would turn over 2 pair like it was a monster.

Anyway this guy was really starting to annoy me and I decided that I just wanted to pick on him all night. Didn't really care if I lost to the other players I just wanted to make this guys life hell. I rivered a couple big pots on him hitting gut-shot straights and he was starting to get pissed complaining that he had to win to make his car payments.

A couple hands later I am in MP and he is on the button. I limp, everyone folds and he raises. He says "I guarantee you won't win this hand". I say "You sure about that?". He says "There is no way you can beat me this time. I will bet you $100 on that". Instantly I say "Your on". Flop A-6-K. Capped. Turn 8. Capped. River 6. Capped. He stares at me for a while before he stands up, flips over AK for top 2 pair in a huge dramatic flourish all the time staring at me like I have a porn movie projected on my forehead. I start chuckling and say "Is that all? Only two pair?" and flip up A-6 for a boat.

As I am stacking my chips he is still staring at me and without looking at him I ask "So you got my $100?" and he mumbles something about "No side bets". I just laugh and tell him he can keep it and use the money on a bus pass.
