>You lied!
>Of course I lied!
Horrible etiquette

I'm shit at texas hold 'em but it feels like no one I've ever played against had any skill either. Is it just an everyone sucks except autismo savants type game?

>>212410050
if you're playing casually then people are going to make stupid decisions in the interest of keeping the game going
if everyone is min/maxxing their odds the game is going to last several hours at least

>etiquette
"erm that's not fair!" lmao

>>212410435
Poker does have etiquette, mind you

This reveal legitimately felt exactly like a Kenny Vs Spenny episode

If Tony had said "I've got pocket aces" or "I've got a 2 and a 6", would Phil have believed him? A bluff is just a lie by another name, and that's the core of the game.

>>212410050
The only real comparison is people with a poker face and people who are good at statistics. In general against every day people you are probably your biggest enemy.

>>212410758
>Comparison
Competition, fuck. Also you normal people will probably be drunk or buzzed.

Ah, I am a straight edge teetotal no fun allowed, that explains why they didn't notice me stealing the chips

isnt "lying" like half of poker? who the fuck would ever whine that someone "lied" in a game where bluffing is the main mechanic

Somebody post that webm of the guy getting beat or whatever at poker and you just see the empty chair spinning

>>212411641
you'd be amazed at the things Phil Hellmuth will whine about

>>212411827
yep he is a top tier whiny bitch. He's just like that "smartest kid int he world" from the movie Magnolia, except he still has enough skill to hang around

What kind of person goes out to watch somebody else play poker

kek thank you

why do angloids have this weird looking face which is so easy to spot?

>>212412795
Inbred island genetics, theyre also almost always jawlets and have round faces. A normal healthy man should have a square face

>>212412863

if you're talking about OP's picture, the guy is russian

>>212411641
well, lying while you're playing is part of the game, in the sense that pretending to throw a punch in a UFC fight is "lying", but you're still engaging in an open combat. if, however, you pretend to be injured before the fight, to trap your opponent, that is also lying, but it's morally wrong in the sense that you're deceiving for evil purposes, same in this situation, you can "lie" about your poker hand and raise the pot, but as soon as you start talking about how you're just "trolling" as an all in then it crosses a line

This is what happens when a midwest yokel comes across a sleazy ethnic for the first time

>>212410050
Its a game of making the right decisions at the right time. There is an element of luck involved.

>>212409993 (OP)
i didn't know phil posted here

>>212410634
The *only* thing that makes poker interesting is bluffing. That's actually the only reason any card game is fun, like YuGiOh, Magic, old ass Force of Will. Otherwise you're playing against your own deck and that's just not as fun.

It's crazy how TV poker turned into absolute kino for exactly 1 year and then went right back to being boring as shit.

It lasted more then a year at least here in Italy there was a huge poker craze to the point some private TV channels were created just to broadcast it 24/7, also everybody I knew were playing it
