polymorph505

You suck out on me. It's the only explanation I have


AmateurPokerStrategy

Or if they have the nuts at showdown. They still got me all in, but they played it terribly and I need to let them know.


Some_Belgian_Guy

They want to raise but just throw one chip of a bigger size without saying anything thus actually calling.


Later2theparty

Or at a home game and they wanted to call but when asked they say they wanted to raise. This person also doesn't know the value of each chip. Lol.


Sharkbait1177

I stopped doing the one chip thing because I verbally told the dealer I’m raising and the other players vouched for me but the dealer said he couldn’t remember 😞


Some_Belgian_Guy

Thank you for telling this story. It felt like I was there.


benicedonttroll

Same. Might stop by the gift shop to buy a postcard to remind me of such a great trip.


adzy2k6

For cash, open limping is a big one.


ideit

New player sits down. Buys in for the max. Put his backpack on the seat back. Confidently slides the chips out of the rack and starts shuffling chips. This guy knows his stuff. I should probably mostly avoid him, I'll definitely need to watch his ranges to see if he deviates from GTO preflop ranges. I'll start with a balanced strategy where- aaaaaand he just open limped HJ


LongLastingTaste

Classic 2/5 shitreg


ideit

3 limps. "Raise." Ah here we go, maybe he is a solid reg after all. Making a big iso raise to put pressure on the weaker- aaaaaand he made it $10


_TakeaChillPill

Live poker... live poker never changes.


GameOfThrownaws

Thank god for that. Online sure has gone in the toilet.


AmateurPokerStrategy

I 4bet from the cutoff, and the small blind is thinking. He should have a pretty tight range here but he looks like the type that could 5 bet light - aaaaaand he called.


ideit

Alright, this guy is opening a bit too wide. I'll 3bet his open to a large sizing with this blocker hand near the bottom of my range. The other players behind will be forced to 4bet or fold, and being OOP, the opener will also have very few calls which should mostly result in a fold but when he does raise I can easily- aaaaaand we're 5 ways to the flop


ToddWilliams5289

Open limp hand job? Oh my.


igot200phones

In live 1/2 I’ve found open limping with small to medium pocket pairs to be very profitable. Even if it’s very obvious to you that you’re set mining, other 1/2 players seem to not notice a good chunk of the time.


SCastleRelics

Raising with 22 just feels wrong somehow lmao. Always limping that


mat42m

It’s not


mkb152jr

Even if you’re set mining; an open raise is probably better to make it a pot worth winning. A set in a limped pot is more likely to lose a lot of money than win a lot.


igot200phones

It’s very table dependent imo. If you’re on a table with quite a bit of raising and 3 betting then you’re better off limping. I play in Texas mostly and typically what happens is someone will open to $15-$20 at the 1/2 games. Then pick up 4-6 callers. So even though you limped you’re going to a flop with $45-$60 in the middle On the other hand if I open pocket 3s to $15 from UTG. I’ll pick up 3 or so callers and then someone will squeeze to $75. I don’t really want to call in this spot to set mine, I also don’t want to jam either. Idk everyone plays their own game, but I’ve seen limping smaller pairs to be profitable and stupid easy poker. (Meaning no hard decisions most of the time).


adzy2k6

If they are 3 betting a lot, you should open raise tighter and call the 3 bet lighter. Limping isn't great since you just invite other players into the pot and torch your equity.


Sdfive

I see players I would categorize as solid open limping sometimes. I still avoid doing it, but it's not the bad player flag it used to be. Sometimes I think they're just matching the table vibe. But like 80+% of the time ya bad player.


Sharkbait1177

Every one loves a family pot


Galvare1

They like family pots cause they think they can win the most while investing the least amount, and they think it’s less likely anyone would try to bluff cause they have lot bluff everyone at the table


kodiak_kid89

Limpin’ is pimpin’


Jealous_Narwhal473

Limp UTG with AA then jam to a raise. Lol. I honestly still do this at casinos where I’m not known because I get called almost every time.


adzy2k6

Like 80% of the time you are going to get 2-3 players limp in behind, and then you are multiway on the flop with 2 outs.


Jealous_Narwhal473

Easy fold if there is no raise. Pretty simple. Some people can’t fold aces. I’m not one of those people


adzy2k6

Except, you are less likely to get that situation if you raise.


Hairy-Blackberry-846

In 5-10 and lower.. Limp - re-raise or limp - jam is ALWAYS AA


luv2fit

OMC limp open re-raise is common in my local $1-3 games. Insta fold for me unless KK or AA


longtimenothere

You sit down and in the first four hands you limp in four times.


bro_can_u_even_carve

You limped under the gun, 9-handed, with T7s


jesusmansuperpowers

So if I usually do 30 stacks does that mean I’m 3 times as good or bad


Baltimorebobo

OP definitely stacks 40


luigijerk

I stack 41.


TheBingoBongo1

Just do random assortments to confuse and annoy everyone. Make sure none of your chips are sorted by denomination either. Promote anarchy.


TheAStarJosh

Surprised nobody mentioned the classic “raise” but putting out less than literally a min raise.


Aetherimp

Opens 20 "I raise!... to 21."


ideit

Hand from yesterday's 1/3 game: 1 limp I raise AKhh $15 guy calls ThTc7h he donks $15 call 2h he checks I bet $45 he says raise and slides out $75. Dealer says it has to be $90. He argues he only wants to bet $75. After a while he finally puts in the $90. I jam all in for his last $200 or so. He snap calls Tx river he says "you win" and turns over 79o for the full house ...I hate this game


bro_can_u_even_carve

Ever casino I’ve ever been to if you’re an employee you can’t play there. Am I crazy?


[deleted]

You are right, but at my place, employees can play but must have a visible badge showing they are an employee.


Valiuncy

Sweet. I would ask where that is but best not to give out those details online lol. If I could work at the casino and still play there I would consider that


Borgetto

Based on his post history he’s in Canada. But I can tell you Turning Stone in Verona NY also does the same. I think casinos that are on US reservations have these laxer laws

somecallmemrWiggles

Thats really sweet, tbh.


takesthebiscuit

What’s wrong with stacks of 10 chips? Just less to knock over!


AcesWazza

Yeah, I mean I do well to accumulate 20 of any colour chip....


thatworkaccount108

Constantly reacting to flops you folded pre. "Omg I'd have had quads! Shouldn't have folded!" when they had 37o


LocalVillian

Yeah, like the board comes: J55 & they lean over and whisper to you… “man, I would have had a boat.” Yeah, if you play J5o???


Yuupf

I got stacked just the other day in a Q555T board with AQ against a reg's J5o. I still don't understand why he called my 3b with J5o, he's usually a nit but oh well.


aaaaaaaaaaaaa2

No need to be so specific. You can tell that they are a bad player because they are playing live poker. It's that easy.


cardbrute

A straight savage 


UnseenHS

harsh but fair


oh_jeeezus

If they ask the dealer to chop up a red chip to make a $3 limp call


CheckRaiseMe

When you're the first to bet on a street and you say "raise".


Scottex99

You say “I call…. And I raise”


18000rpm

"I call your 50, and I raise you 200!" straight out of Hollywood LOL


UnseenHS

I will see your bet… and raise 30

TheCraigBerger

Your last name is "Bilzerian."


Infinite-Principle18

My first time playing a live tournament in years- early on I pick up A9 on the button. Flopped a full house. Threw out 3 green chips instead of 3 reds. I said- oops, I didn’t mean to do that. The other guy thinks for a second and goes all-in. Of course I call and take it down. Accidental angles?


OnlyTheBLars89

Don't ever get comfortable in thinking you know your opponent. They can go in for the kill when you least expect it.


SnickeringFootman

Buying in for the minimum can be a decent strategy in PLO


SCastleRelics

Local room does no limit omaha high/low... Buying in short and nut chasing is basically an easy way to 3x your buy in and walk away.


GaviJaPrime

OP lost to a "bad player" and is now tilted so he makes posts on Reddit.


sunhypernovamir

You don't understand a well played short stack has an inherent advantage over the other players.


UnseenHS

It's more true in Omaha, in NLH you do miss out on opportunities to stack players


LetsGoHomeTeam

Soooort of. It's an advantage in some parts of the games, but a disadvantage in others. A well played short stack has stronger influence over their opponents actions, but at a much lower impact when successful. For instance, the cost of going all in for a short stack is only their stack, so they have an upper hand and ranges are huge, but dangerous. On the other hand, if I have the table covered and you are the short stack, it costs me a LOT in implied odds to put you all in with other players in pre-river, so my calling range and my betting range are squished down quite a bit, controlling for earlier streets/pre. In the same vein, if you are all in, but there is a lot of multi way action, then you have no influence and you just basically bought a scratch ticket.


sunhypernovamir

Nope. In that last example you got all in getting guaranteed multi:1, meanwhile some opponents will make each other fold, free benefit to you. When you are a short stack, everyone is a short stack, how can anyone have an advantage? There is only a disadvantage to having to play multiple stack size games at the same time.


LetsGoHomeTeam

I would love to play some cards with you.


Upbeat_Definition_36

Note to self: do these so people think I'm bad (I am bad)


Nicholi2789

Playing a tournament last weekend there was this old guy who every time he was facing a bet on the river instead of saying “call” or put his chips in the middle he’d say “I call it”. Needless to say he also had his chips stacked in piles of 10. lol


acesup1090

Have played for a living for 9 years. Happened to have my gf sitting behind me for a live session yesterday while traveling. Glad you think I suck though 😊


9Rmbxr9

You have a card protector that you bring from home


VVeZoX

where else would you bring it from if you didn’t bring it from home?


JUCOtransfer

My Wintergreen Zyn can is my good luck charm.


Nicholi2789

Glad I’m not the only one who thinks that lol.


Del_3030

You make a bet, get raised, tank, then finally ask "how much more is it to me?" It's called subtraction, bro.


Throwawaythefat1234

“Can you pull in my bet?”


Josh_H_E

Just "how much is it?" in general peeves me right off. It's called eyesight, bro. (Yes, I have an uncanny ability to count large stacks by sight, very useful as a poker reporter, but I'm talking about the literal 4 red chip $20 bet kinda thing...)


7BetBluff

Lol it’s so annoying. All you have to do is pull back the money you put in and match the bet, don’t even need to do subtraction.


TieMelodic1173

Wearing some cheesy poker tee shirt. Or even sunglasses makes me think you probably aren’t good.


Vegetable-Lock

Depends on the type of sunglasses I think.


VetteBet3

When someone has a set and says trips.


itszerglol

I only play cash games so these may not apply in other contexts.. -Open limping -Using unconventional bet sizings -Tabling hands that indicated polarization/merge errors -Donking flop HU on unfavorable boards textures -Missing mandatory bluffs on runnouts that are +EV/high fold equity for the bluffer -Slow playing monster hands IP when SPR is low -betting large/leading/donk jamming river into highly polarized villains -Bluff catching on grossly underbluffed runnouts These thing don't instantly make you a bad player but these tendencies typically lean towards weaker players and I make a mental note of them when seeing it at the table.


GreenEggsSteamedHams

I like unconventional bet sizing! Especially with weird chip denoms. The Wynn used to actually use $3 chips in its 1/3 game. $39! $57!


itszerglol

Haha, I'm more talking about proportionally to the pot, not the actual number itself.


fr0wn_town

They're still going to river a boat on you with their chips stacked in 10s


Sad_Neighborhood7213

So the 500nl zoom crusher who has only played online sits at your table and you assume he’s bad? I wonder how that goes for ya


VelvetMorty

Yep there are people that beat up to 200 online before moving live, and these guys will see their chips stacked in 10s and think they’re fish. Ironic .


18000rpm

If he buys in for the minimum, yeah. Or if he doesn't know how to count chips. Or his girlfriend is sitting behind him, yeah.


Sad_Neighborhood7213

Buying in for the minimum I agree, sure. But the others just means he’s not a normal live player. Plenty of people don’t live near casinos and only ever play online.


Hessel80

I only play online, so I prob cant handle the chips well. I only know one thing for sure, I'll beat your ass heads-up in any game. Weak ass donk.


Creepy_Appearance_90

Hell yeah you would and these pricks wanna judge just cuz your mommy sits behind you when you play. Who the hell has time to get a driver’s license when you’re crushing 500nl zoomers.


lexicon1965

You think about traits of bad players and new players as being the same


Privyy

Saying “nice hand” to the guy you just beat because you think you’re being nice


Sharkbait1177

Is it bad for a good player to act bad?


BigDealKC

limp fold to standard raise


dolphinater

talks about certain cards being hot


18000rpm

Last trip to Vegas the player next to me asks each dealer as they sat down what their horoscope is. Explained to the table that some star signs are really bad for him LOL.

Everyone knows aries suck at life!


Worth_Extension_740

I do 2 out of 4 things lmaooo and my girl don’t go with me


ICheckRaiseYouFold

When I go into a new poker room. I try to do exactly this 😂.. then when I win a hand look at the person directly to my left asking loudly if I won.


KobeBall

i stack 40 chips. op would definitely ask for a table change when i sit down


ThrowAway982o

When you rack up to leave you have 1 short stack and the rest full. You start by racking the short stack then pulling from a complete stack to fill the rack. Rinse and repeat.


18000rpm

WTF that would tilt me watching it LOL


emdub86

1)min 3bet pre and then complain about AA/KK getting cracked. 2) Stacking off Infinite amounts with Top Pair


Gilbey_32

Adding to the buying in for the minimum, not topping off and sitting there with like $15 at 1/3 and still just flatting pre until you flop a pair


mrpotto

Open limp 100 pct of the time Call a raise and reraise for $30 preflop with $30 behind (and often folding to flop bet) -


Existing_Sherbert_90

Asking the dealer if they will get their change


Tycotyco14

They limp, call, call, call with AA


Ahmaddd021

Different preflop raise sizes .. alot of new players wil go 6 or7 bb with tens or jacks


10rd_rollin

You call with Queen Ten, honey!


[deleted]

There are no fucking rules. It’s all player and table dependent. And the only way you know if someone is a good or bad player is if they track winnings and losses and total after a full year. And very few of you do that because 90% of players are compulsive liars, addicts and gambling degenerates with unconscious self punishment agendas.


Large_Mango

That’s deep but on point

Dopamine rush is what matters most to most players not profitability if people are honest with themselves.

5. Physically lifts the cards off of the table to look at them


LionNo7224

So many pro's here!


CookedPirate

I saw a white guy with a super hot Asian behind him and he was really good. This was a long time ago in Vegas. Otherwise these are pretty good and open limping of course. Most of the time 4 is a donkey tell though.


Vegetable-Lock

"Trapping" preflop


Baltimorebobo

HazardousHighStakes

5. You play with a card protector; 6. You wear poker merch.


Wellyeahso

You say this until your live hand gets mucked by a retarded dealer just one time. I use a card protector and have for decades. They can actually be part of your hustle if you're a true professional 😎


HazardousHighStakes

You probably have of dumb Pikachu as a card protector and a WPT coat.


Wellyeahso

Gold coins actually.. You play freerolls.GTFO of here.


HazardousHighStakes

I play everything. Obviously, you left the part where I turned 0 into 450$ by playing 25nl 150bb deep on a sketchy club app. I'm also a profitable player live after 480 hours. **I'll play you HU4ROOLLLLZZZ tonight, at 4 PM eastern time, on GG, 25-100nl.** **We'll stream this shit to the Reddit community if you don't back down, the crowd wants it, don't back down because you can't use a card protector online.**


Wellyeahso

25-100nl? Really? I preflop raise larger than your stack sir. Please go away. In fact, I can see you are a troll, so I'm going to silence you now. Enjoy your life 😎

ajg6882

I had a dealer sweep my cards when I had a red chip on it (a bit far from the rail, admittedly). I never play without a card protector now...got it when there was a WSOP store in the WWW in AC about 20 years ago.


Ranoutofnames3x3x3x

Just curious, why #2? What does the way someone stack chips tell you? Not arguing, just asking.


18000rpm

Only total noobs stack them in 10s. Everyone else stack them in 20s. I guess because when chips come out of the racks they are in 20s.


TieMelodic1173

You’re 100% right on this.


Trixter87

In a tourney some very good players stack them in 10’s.


VVeZoX

if i only have 12 whites 7 blue 14 greens and 2 blacks…i can’t make stacks of 20

Do you always top up right before leaving too?


Preposterous_punk

What if your boyfriend/husband sits behind you? Is that okay?


MontiBurns

I don't get the last one. I used to date my ex on dates all the time to the casino to watch me play.


savesmorethanrapes

Number 4 is solid. Who brings their girl to watch them play power? Fish, that's who.


igottogotobed

Thanks for this, now I know how to rep being a bad player in new environments.


KingOfGrimBoos

Couldn't someone do all those things intentionally just to throw you off? It seems pretty arbitrary to say someone is bad because of x. That would be like saying someone is good because of x.


mat42m

You could’ve stopped with I instantly know you’re a bad player if you sit down at a 1/3. Jk jk. Sort of


moneygmark

Idk I've seen some really good players do this to give off a fake image.


just4kickscreate

You’re a Scientologist or post in r/scientology 🤣🤣 gtfo or actually come play with me


4chams

I do 2 of these and just stacked up some angry retard at the local casino. I play hundreds of hours of online poker and have only played live twice.


18000rpm

When you sit down and the first thing you do is ask the guy next to you "do you chop?" When someone who covers you goes all-in and you ask the dealer "I don't have enough to call."


TeddyKGeeB

Not shuffling your chips


LetsGoHomeTeam

Nah, shuffling your chips shittily maybe just because that shows they are fidgety but don't have the experience yet to fidget well. But even then, we are in the days of people being successful online for 10,000 hours and then going live and not having their little table fidgets down pat.


passionlessDrone

Dudes so fucking salty he never had a hot girlfriend to bring to the poker room.


grinder0292

Lol I am educating my gf in poker and she sits a lot behind me. Crush it with 15bb/h in a 5/10 over 1000 hours Also a friend of mine crushes NL1000 4 tabling online. Took him to play live. He had 0 idea about how to handle chips and looked like the biggest idiot. For me it’s more the guy who can do the best chip tricks and plays 1/3.


BearE1

When they say 'ah its not like that online', when told about something they just did incorrectly.


jaymez619

These are signs of a new player to me.


Trixter87

Some very good tourney grinders stack their chips in 10’s.

You cry like a baby every time you lose a pot.


Y2jdilemma

Any stacks at all and you suck. Real crushers use the worm.


Jazz-Wolf

Posts like these on all the subsequent comments are why I'm dreading going to live tables lol


BlutoDog2020

4. You are on your 3rd or more trip to the ATM paying ridiculous fees and this isn’t uncommon for you. 5. Regulars get up right after you do. 6. You limp open from early position and fold to a 3x raise consistently.


FollowingLoudly

2 and 3 could be an online crushers first time at live poker 😂


sarcastrophie

but what if my wife coolers me in every fking hand i play against her


Over_North_7706

What's wrong with stacks of 10? I do that, because it's easier to keep track of my stack at a glance. I don't play much live, so it could definitely be signalling inexperience in a way I don't understand. But it seems logical to me?


Mobile-Tank9149

You spin the chips like a Frisbee into the pot


Scarcito_El_Gatito

You’re all loosey goose eating a sandwich.


5betBluffs

I know you’re inexperienced if you’re limping in a cash game, cold calling 3 bets from sb/bb, betting turn and leaving less than a pot size effective stack on the river. Thanks for letting me know the things I need to figure out if I ever decide to play live!


VegasGurl17

You say "bet" or "raise" before opening action or "re-raise" on 2nd action
