Are sunglasses while playing poker considered taboo? by Manlerin poker

[–]ImmortalPancreas 5 points6 points ago

Had one person wearing dark sunglasses at a home game once, who would lift his cards way too far off the table to check them.

Spent most of the night getting glimpses of his cards in the reflective lenses

Need some input on a problem I had at a table recently by shitsandwitchin poker

Why did he flip his cards/the dealer give him the chips on the turn?

I did buy in for full, I just wasn't auto topping up

Thanks for that! I totally agree about raising more preflop, but given that I don't play high limits I was expecting all/most to fold based on how the game had been playing so far. Was thinking I would get a call from the CO and the others would fold, but they all came in.

As for what actually happened: I checked and the tight MP bet just under a quarter of the pot. The CO called and the button folded. I considered folding but the bet sizing surprised me. Given he was playing so tight preflop, I put him on a flush draw with overcards (something like AK-A8) and was betting to block us/for information. I thought I could take the pot, since I wasn't particularly worried about the CO (who had demonstrated he would call with anything)

I shoved and he took a while but eventually called. CO also called.

MP flipped 88 and CO flipped K7.

Turn was a blank, river was 4 for his straight.

If he had bet out at me with a half pot plus bet, I would have folded but what do you think of the shove?

Interestingly enough Snopes references this book as the first time it was seen, so there could be something in that...

It's possible, yes. I can't imagine it being easy or enjoyable but it's possible (fyi I'm a medical student, not speaking from experience here...)

It's a fantastic book isn't it...

I barely believe it despite reading it (the submitting doc's name checks out though...). As for the middle, I took photos of each page individually then combined them into one image

Right, I rarely play SnG's, I forgot that somewhere between looking at the OP's image and reading the comments

I limp with low pockets and then play fit or fold on the flop, but I think that's an exception?
