What does this mean ? (weird chat line)

[RydenStoompala]

On Paradise this morning, during my morning coffee game, a player types "live 4 on the next game." Then he types "nevermind" and leaves the table. The first comment was obviously entered into the wrong chat box. Any guess as to what he meant? It's intriguing because it looks like a prediction of some kind.

i agree it is intruiging, but i would say it is not a prediction.

first we would have to figure out which "live" he meant (not a homonym, but the other one where they are spelled same but sound different). and is the number 4 an acronym for the word 'for'?

this could mean anything from a pholosophical statement to a pronouncement that there are 4 fish on another table.

Playing $1/$2 meaning he's doing a live straddle which means he's raising to $4 UTG no matter what he has?

Either that or a bot gone haywire [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

straddle?

[Mackas]

I sometimes produce weird chatlines simply becasue one table pops up when I'm halfway through typing on another table or on email etc. Then, after a few hours, I accidentally hit return at that table and a few lines of rubbish pour forth, rubbish which is actually a collection of snippets from several different conversations from elsewhere.

This doesn't happen on all sites. Depends on the site as to whether the chatbox automatically picks up when you type if the table window is live. I don't play on paradise so don't know if that is a possible explanation or not.

To cut a long story short it may never have been meant as a sentence in the first place so I wouldn't lose sleep trying to translate it.

I suppose announce it before the hand, close your eyes and start clicking in the raise button location [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

You won't get the extra blind option though.

Put your mouse where you think the raise button is, close your eyes, click and yell, "STRADDLE!!!!!!!"
