Weirdest/Funniest thing youve had happen in a cardroom?

Drunk guy (maybe Vietnamese?...little english) sits down and promptly stacks a room regular after declaring "Wowwwww!" when he looked at his hand. I'm sorry I forget what he had (whether it was actually wow worthy). He goes to light a cigarette and another reg quickly says, "You can't smoke that in here!" Drunk guy immediately puts the cigarette out on his tongue. Hardcore.

A friend of mine was playing in Dublin last year and told me this, typical drunk who everyone had marked for a stacking was sat to my friends left.

He was friendly but a bit loud and during a hand on the flop he farted like a clap of thunder which prompted a warning from the dealer that he would be asked to leave if he kept misbehaving (had been spoken to previously about loudness). The warning wasn't fully out of the dealers mouth before he did it again but the note was different this time. The dealer said "I will let it slide this time" and he turned to my friend and said "It certainly did slide bud", my friend didn't cop it until he got up and started walking away from the table with his legs close together moving in short steps.

A staff member approached him and asked was he OK to which he replied "A plane came in for a hard landing" staff got the hint directed him to the toilet as everyone in the vicinity was laughing. He came back about 15 mins later to get his stuff from the table with everyone trying to keep a straight face and someone asked him "did the plane make it?" and to be fair he seen the funny side of it and replied "undercarriage is ****ing destroyed".

I should say this friend has a flair for exaggeration but nevertheless I still found it funny.

Terrible player who has been sun-running for a long while and has about $1100 in front of him at 1/2 $300 max game. His chips are in the rack and it's his last hand.

Hand goes straddle, raise to $20, Sunrunner just calls, Button All-in $100, original raiser all-in $410.

Sunrunner shows AA and still manages to tank for 3 minutes before calling because he was afraid of losing some profit. He finally calls and original raiser has QQ. Short stack button has AQss. Sunrunner wins and stacks up new chips and leaves.

Unless its a survivor and you are in a specific spot folding AA preflop never acceptable lol

When I first started playing poker I remember discussing with my buddy if we were up, like, 10 buy-ins would we call a pre-flop all-in with AA LOL.

I am pretty sure I have mentioned this elsewhere, but it does deserve a mention here.

Way back in the day, the Hard Rock Casino in Vegas used to have some crazy games. It was near the end of their run where they were down to a couple of tables right on the midway. The games were $1/$3, but there was no cap on the buy in so it could get crazy. Even though it was at the end of the craziness, on Friday and Saturday nights the club there was still hot enough that random people would sit down and dump.

One night I had been playing most of the night, say started at 6:00 pm and it was now 4:00 am. I had bought on for $700, but I had $3500+ in front of me. It was long enough ago that cash played on the table. Since it was near the end of Hard Rock Vegas poker, they were scrimping on expenses. Since they had experienced dealers they often only had one floorman for the tables. That floorman would often disappear for long stretches.

So the dealers were left to figure it out.

More than once I took $100 to the cage to get $1chips just so dealers could fill their rack.

Anyway this night I had the table covered so I was selling chips to everyone who bought in. Eventually I had $2500 in cash in front of me and only $1000 chips. A guy comes to the table and buys in for $500. The floor isn't around so I give him chips and take his cash. I have $3000 in cash in front of me and $500 in chips. I lose a decent pot so I am down $300 in chips to ~$200 in chips when the following hand arises.

I am in seat 9, button in 2. Small blind 3 and BB 4. UTG raises to $15. One caller. Gets to me and I have KK. I re-raise to $50. It folds to UTG and he thinks for a second shrugs and shoves all in. Caller folds and it is back to me.

Now UTG is a fairly solid player. Very unimagitive. Very ABC. He gets crushed by better players who can disguise their ranges, but he crushes the weak players who splash around. That is most of the player pool at the time. As a result he has about $1500-$2000 in front of him. He way overbets the pot.

I have KK.......

I literally start laughing. How is this not a cooler? What is he way overshoving against me other than AA? I tank. Deeply.

I try and find any reason to call. I try and figure out if he is being silly, but I know he isn't. It isn't in him. He can't be bluffing. I take forever, probably the longest I have ever thought in my life.

He has shoved ~$1800 preflop into a $80 pot. I have him covered. I can't call here. As much as I think I can't find a reason he is shoving here where I beat him.

Finally I show my KK as I fold.

He is agast. He shows JJ and asks how I can fold KK for only $200? What am I thinking?

I realize that he thinks I only have $200 in front of me. He is only looking at the chips, not the cash. I point to the cash that is blatantly and clearly stacked up in front of me. He quickly pales and stutters. He didn't realize he was shoving $1500-$2000 into a $80 pot with jacks against a bigger stack.

**** cash playing.

That's a weird shove in the first place, even if he realizes how much you had.

Raise a bunch and see a flop, then evaluate.

If you shove preflop, its a fold, as painful as it is, because if it were me, I would put him on AK or better.

I've made so much money doing this with garbage, if the amount is low enough, but when the reraise is stacks, go away, look for a better spot.Its just not worth it even if you think you are ahead.

similar situation happened with me once

i had several large denomination chips, they were all out front - they more than quadrupled the rest of the stack

new player sits down and is new to the venue, an american who is playing in macau for the first time and popped over while visiting friends in hong kong

I've 3! him with KK and he thinks i'm short stacked because he doesn't know those bigger chips are that much bigger

while pondering his move, he even asks me what i'm playing behind (to which i tell him, i have about 10 and got you covered)

he thinks i'm trying to angle him by misrepresenting my small stack as big and 4! jams

he basically was facing a $200 3! and made it 4k

i tell i can't believe he did that, show my kings and am strongly considering laying it down but can't imagine aces would open jam like that (he was a splashy player) and so i call

his AJ makes two pair on the flop and i never improve and he doubles up, only when he sees those big disks up close does he realize i was serious when i said i covered him

apologized profusely to me for a while after that, said he legit thought I had at most a couple hundred behind and had no idea the danger he was in of getting felted and now understood why i tanked so long before calling

lol was playing 1/3 at Aria and had been sunrunning - had over $3500 in front of me. I had colored down this one dude a few times who sat down with purple and yellow chips, and I kept stacking him - $300 at a time. But then he goes on a run and now he's got about $1200 in front of him.

I have a gigantic stack in front of me - and had just came back from the bathroom. When I left the table, I had put the $1k yellow and $500 purple chip in front of my stack on some fives to protect it while I was gone.

Well, I get back, sit down, villain raises to $10 - I reach to the front of my stack to call with two red chips, but I inadvertently flip the two big chips out. I've just raised to $1500. I have two sixes in my hand. Whoops.

Villain - who had been calling all-ins all night with hands as bad a 22 and QT....laughs, and says, "not this time!" and folds, showing QQ.

I show, of course, and the table erupts.

Whew.
