Of the places I play poker, there is one relatively new player (for about a month now) who has horrendous manners at the table… The type of person you’d like to strangle just for their overall mannerisms and conduct. Such as a very derisive laugh when she wins, and a loud whoop when she or a friend of her’s wins against someone else.

Having been playing consistently for over a month, she still fucks up when betting (like not meeting the minimum). A bit of a calling station, quite a donkey and bad player. E.g. I was in late position, so I decided to steal the blinds (and her call) with 5000 and A-6. She calls (early position) it with K-7 o/s, and gets a K on the turn. I was favored 3-2 pre-flop, then 3-1 before the turn.
So my advice to anyone playing poker, don’t be a donkey. Read some etiquette rules here: http://www.homepokertourney.com/rules_etiquette.htm

So I was in a tourney the other night, rather insane cards and hands.
Session 1, before the first blind increment:

• Kc-As-7s; Ks; Kd. I have: Qs-9s (nut-flush). Opponent: Ad-7d (full-house)
• 6-8-9 (rainbow); Th (10 of hearts); Js. I have: 7d-5d (low straight, big blind). Opponent: K-Q
• 2d-3h-8s; J; 5. I have 3d-3s (all-in after the flop). Opponent: A-4 (donkey)
• There were at least 2 other full houses too! It was nuts.

Session 2:

• 10’s were coming up like mad. There were two hands back-to-back that had 10 paired on the board. A third hand after that had another person win with pocket 10’s.
• Short-stacked, one raiser, and one all-in (less than raiser) in front of me, I went all in with Qd-Td (10’s were going so well that game, I figured what the hell). Raiser calls with A-J o/s, all-in has A-K o/s. Flop: T-8-4; J; T. A bit donkey-ish of me.

Pinche Rio = [Mexican] Spanish for “Fuckin’ River”

Last few weeks, I’ve had some bad luck and these friggen donkeys and river rats catching “their card” on the river. I need to add to my wardrobe, and I’ve found just the shirt for it too!

• “Pinche Rio” T-Shirt
• “I hate jacks” that’s usually for pocket jacks, but lately, jacks have been the ones to screw me on the river (straights)

I also like these:

• “But they were suited…” done this to others on more than one occasion
• “This ain’t a hobby for me bitch.”
• “No Good Play goes unpunished”
