My favorite comes from my friend Chris - Quote:
Meanwhile a LAG across the table decided that my raise with KQs wasn't enough, and reraised me from the BB. I immediately put him on AK, and when 3 rags came out, he put out a bet that was about the third of the pot. Looking at it, it was extremely iffy and I raised all-in. He called and showed rockets.
The Turn: King.
The River: Queen.
The money: Mine.
The LAG, still the chip leader even after doubling me up, starts berating my call. Uh, excuse me? I didn't call your bet, I raised you all in. If you had put me all in, I would have folded, but that's not how it worked. I bluffed, you caught me, and I outdrew you. Shut up. |
I used that line myself during a game at a poker club where I had pocket twos, facing a flop of all over-cards. Tried to bluff at, got caught, and ended up hitting my set on the river. Instant tilt for the guy in the hand, and my friends still talk about how funny it was when I used that line then.
