In Response to Re: Many Rivers To Cross. A Diary. : he got you to fold QQ with T high, what's he doing wrong nit?? Just because Tommy is better than you at winning allins eh Posted by beaneh
Only because I'm expert. Had 3 other mega fish behind incl Tommy who likes to go allin and get there...
Who knows what he had anyway, may well have c/r nit folded better and just said Queens to make it sound a more of a fold to people.

I decided at the time he had Kings, now I'm thinking this or lower spades, which makes sense as I didn't hit my flush.
TBH I wasn't messing around up until this point and not getting involved with Nick at all. Zero point pre antes and with a lot better spots on the table. I even made a couple of decent sized folds. Same reason why I don't 3bet AQs pre OOP.
I couldn't resist the chance to check, call and raise on one street, pretty sure I haven't done that much before. Was fun. Seeing someone C/R/F live for the first time ever was also fun.
I did indeed have QQ that hand, hence the flat pre antes vs utg and lead into 6 fishies on 9 hi So funny that he chose that hand to lie about though, especially after I'd already declared my hand which luckily I showed to the guy to my right ha. For anyone wondering Tommy would have GOT THERE anyway vs me... Although I wasn't worried at all about him - utg loudmouth's check raise looked very strong into what 4/5 people Tommy? He was clearly 'at it' but what a terrible spot to c/r bluff. Posted by pryce6
Nick,
Absolutely no one was wondering this, the fish always gets there!

Yeah I'll hopefully be going. £110 crapshoot sounds perfect for practice
Great insight tommy. Hope you had fun. Can see why you slid away quietly im sure most people on the forum have been in that place. Posted by The_Don90
Thanks mate.
Obviously had fun. I generally disappear off for a bit after busting a tournament anyway. It may be for 20 minutes, it may be a complete get out of there and go home. For Stratford it was get on bus immediately and go for a pint my Dad.
I generally don't mind people who sit out HU cash, people who hit and run, people who leave a table open to swoop in if the right people sit, people who immediately change seats to get position on someone who just got to the table, people who only buy in for the amount that covers a certain person at the table.
I generally don't mind this on the 'their money, their choice' rule. I don't like it, but I generally don't mind it.
However if another person blooming well buttons me this week I'm going to punch through my screen on the bazillion to one shot that a wormhole will open up through time and space and I will end up punching them in the crackerjacks mere moments before they were due to lose their virginity.

Buttoning is where someone plays HU with you (in this case on the 6 max table), plays 1 hand, nicks your blind and goes/ sits out. (normally a raise and take it).
It's annoying like a flee bite. You get bit by a flee a dozen times and then you start to really hate the flee.

Ah ok. Is there not the temptation to just 3bet them with ATC just to force them to either

The problem here Lambert is they aren't wearing a T-Shirt saying 'I'm Buttoning Crazy, YYEEEHARRRRR'
It's been a variety of people so I don't always know it's coming. The start of HU is generally always a little cagey and ABC.
Lol ah ok, fair point. I assumed it was just a small group of serial offenders who refuse to play you HU but will always do that, so when you're sat HU with them you'd know it's coming.

I loled heartily at this line.
the best bit is when a 6max table breaks and the terrible reg is left vs you and you just KNOW that they want to win this hand because they've already ticked stand. it's hilarious, ive had some unbelievable coolers before in this spot AND had some of the tightest players on the site punt stacks off to me in an attempt to win the hand. lol

Is buttoning something you think we should do something about?
If so, what?
Is it the same people each time?
