Did something that was actually objectionable get edited out of OP or. Banana is stupid but the rest of you people good grief.

Yeah, his posting style is sort of entertaining. I don't see the big deal about "wacko woman" or whatever.

It's just the nature of these mediums that people will pile on. One person made a comment and the floodgates opened. I don't think it made the point invalid that it was repeated a bunch by independent commenters.

It's also not the worst thing in the world. Just something to think about. Hell, it could be just logically beneficial for him to reduce his stereotyping as it doesn't seem to be serving him particularly well in categorizing people as players. That's just a +EV move regardless of the ethical implications.

You’re hoping she has K9 or what?

Much of the above. When you don't have any other reads, cultural hints can give you a very small nudge, but once you have as much as you had in OP, the race is irrelevant. As is mental illness unless you think you know how it is affecting their play, such as paranoia in real life might also correlate to MUBS in poker.

If you're just adding labels to denigrate people, stop it....

As for the Indian reference, I'm half Indian, and don't take offense, but it seems uneccessary.

Firstly, I'm completely unsure of what the stereotype is of how Indian women play.

Secondly, what I am pretty sure about is that whatever the stereotype is it's not much use; do you think the 1st generation uneducated 60 year old from Bihar plays similarly to the 3rd generation 30 something MIT Mathematics Professor, simply because they are of Indian descent?...

I think you played it fine up until this point, and I would fold to the flop raise. She has every combo of QJ and you block a lot of the most likely bluff combos with the Ks. Even a fishy overplay like AT has you crushed. You have a million better hands to continue with, including QJ and all of the sets.

FWIW I find the idiom of this post (and banana's other posts) to be entertaining and reasonable, but def understand the sentiment that racial/mental health-based reads in poker HHs can be unnecessary at best and often offensive at worst....
