So I'm playing a little bit of the ol' Party 15/30 and 4-tabling. There is one player who is at two of my tables and complaing constantly about bad beats. She claims to have lost with AA thirteen times in a row; I've witnessed the last two of these beats so I suppose it's at least possible. It's clear that she's tilting but in such a way that causes her to careen between weak-tight and loose aggressive.

Anyway I pick up Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] on one of my tables and open-raise. Tilty 3-bets me and I call.

We see an A44 rainbow flop heads up. I check. She pauses for a long time and bets. Immediately after she bets the following chat dialog appears at my *other* table:

"great i have kk at my other table and the flop was a44"

I think for a long time, decide that I don't have the balls, and fold.

This seems like an easy raise to me. A player that is determined that the gods are against her and a dangerous flop.

But then we have the possibility of her setting you up of course... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Interesting.

I don't blame you one bit for folding.

just curious:

did you not try to push her off her hand for ethical reasons?

or you didn't think she'd fold anyways?

ethical reasons?

I don't think there is any ethical problem. She's the tard doing that and it's not like he manipulated her into telling him his hand. She could be lieing anyhow. Poker is tricky like htat and I really don't think there is ethics involved, here.

Ethnics weren't really a factor. She was real annoying and actually threatened to physically harm another player at one point. I just wasn't sure that she'd fold often enough. She was in this weird masochistic frame of mind and I thought she might call down just to show down her "losing" hand and prove how unlucky she was.

Smells like a trap to me. Run away!

Good fold, I think.

See now, I thought it was well established that ethnics were a factor. If you knew she was Asian (and thus, a gamboooler) then you'd have to fold worried she may hang in to try and hit her miracle 2-outer.

For example.
