Best Buzz?

mewso

Whats the best buzz you get during a game? For me it's when a bluff re-raise comes off. You read some players raise as a steal or a marginal hand and re-raise them and they back down. They won't try that again

kinaldo

any monster pot will do

Dub13

It has to be when you are drawing to one card and it hits....

i can only imagine, that's yet to happen to me

i like my 2 outers though

whiteshadow

being ahead on the flop
then a horrible card falls to make you behind on the turn
only for you to river a miracle card, or pair the board giving you the nuts.
....nice

Vamos

Omaha, top set with nut flush draw and a couple of muppets betting into you.

Dave

Slowplaying the nuts.

Buying pots with absolutely nothing.

Lafortezza

Hitting a miracle card, gutshot on the river or something against someone who has played the hand perfectly against you. He'll have slowplayed and got you to put all your chips in the middle when he has you drawing almost dead.

And you hit your 3 outer, he types "ffs", and you can to shout "How do you like them apples?!!" at the PC, while laughing like a loon.

roryc

so that was you then......

DeVore

Weird, hitting a one-outer is nice but it always leaves me feeling like a failure for getting myself into that situation in the first place, like anything I had to do with the hand was fubared and dumb luck got me out of it.

Like Muso a reraise steal has to be the biggest adrenaline rush in poker for me. Its SUCH a naughty play and you have to have perfect discipline to act normally etc... I did it once in the 20-in game and the youngish lad who obviously actually HAD a hand thinks for ages then folds saying "how can you look so calm" and I thought "If only you could feel my heart rate!".
One BSOP semi final Quozl and Waylander could see my tshirt moving, my heart was beating so fast when I reraised Biteme!

Walking out with a big chunk of 50's in your pocket is one of the most singular feelings I've had in my life and god knows I've done one or two bizzare things in my life. Just walking out with a grand you didnt have walking in feels illicit. Knowing you just took the money of most of the people who came to compete with you feels deliciously self righteous and arrogant. Its almost calm with an evil self-satisfied chuckle in the back of my head!

Hehe, that was funny, but in fairness you had some huge hand. kings or something. or might of been one of the several hands where we both had the nuts.

Big rush I get is playing a hand perfectly and raking in a huge pot. I like the feeling when half the table go wow cuz none of them put you on the hand you have Oh and of course walking out of the casino with a lot more money than you came in with...

Dub13

Poker players are a strange bunch....here we are talking about hitting miracle cards and inflicting bad beats on people and in the next thread we will all be giving out about bad calls etc.


I think you have to be abit mad to play this game.

Hectorjelly

There aint nothing sweeter than calling your entire stack off on the river with ace/king high and being right. I love hitting sets as well.

DeVore

Biteme, I think it was the hand we both made the nuts with AJ filling an insider for a straight.

Hector, I love doing that offline, oddly, online I dont do it so much and dont really get a buzz from it. But you are right, its disgustingly enjoyable to call someone and say "I only have a pair of three's..." and leaving hanging the subtext of "...but its better then what you have you dim witted MONKEY.... now give me the money, give me my ****in' money bitch!!! MUHAH MUAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH *cough*"... ahem.

Yeah, this is what does it for me too! Especially one of those wins where it takes Luke about 5 minutes to count it out... the cash wont fit in your wallet... you have to check the street a few times to make sure there's no scumbags hanging around... it's about 6 in the morning and you're heading home with a pocket full of dollars, laughing at all the suckers on their way into work... it's all about those occasional big wins!

Waiting for Dev to neatly stack 18,000 worth of yellow chips then walking up and pushing said stack over

Tbh, chasing a nut flush draw in a four way allin on the flop Omaha pot with lots of greens and blacks in the middle, that moment of anticipation, praying for that card (c'mon diamond), hitting the card then waiting for that non board pairing card to come on the river! Great buzz.

DeVore

Waiting for one of my mates to push over my monster stack of neatly ordered chips.... nothing I love better then ordering and reordering a huge stack.
(Its true though isnt it, its a lot of fun to have a huge number of chips to play with! )

yah i love having a large stack in a cash game. Feels so good when most of it's not yours and it just keeps growing and growing

Sinfonia

for me its gotta be busting the guy at the table who's been pissing everyone off, just being an asshole, and watching him storm out of the room.

Amaru

I'm going to have to agree with you there. Busting the loud mouth know it all at the table who thinks you're an idiot because you're not playing weak tight, especially with garbage, and then telling him "any 2 can win, you know!"!

You weren't keeping that in reserve for an occasion such as this, were you?

karlh

nice one Nicky

my best buzz in poker (cash games anyway) is calling a raise with a mid/low pocket pair with a few other callers in the pot and flopping the set in late position.

just that feeling of watching the chips go in before you

first mr. overpair, then mr. tptk and bang!

shame you can't even see if you've been outdrawn on stars cash games until showdown but that feeling of knowing you're so far ahead and have them by the short ones tops it for me.



*add an A on the flop for even more fireworks

TacT

hitting one of your two outs to a straight flush then watching some guy bet his stack on the nut flush

shoutman

It has all been said before but i thought i'd just reitterate the point.

Poker is such a game of 'buzz' that there are just so many moments to choose from.

Whether its building a castle out of the chips you have accumulated to outdrawing the ass at the table to send him packing to walking out of the place with da monnnnnnneyyyyyyyyyy.

But for me I think the best buzz is when you check with the nuts on the river just knowing that the guy who has been constantly barrating you for being 'just a kid' and telling you how he is going to give you a master class in poker will raise on the river.
When he pushs his stack all in with a big smile on his face and you think about it for about two minutes just to see him smile for even longer and to make him think that you are about to fold. Then you say what the hell, through the man a wink and flip over the nuts to send him on his way.
Best Buzz in the world.... ever!

I just love to see that smile turn upside down while the rest at the table are laughing.

Feigning an agonising call for someones chips when u have the nuts is called 'slowrolling' and is the lowest play in poker. It is, in fact, fcuking disgraceful. People who do this are total fcuking dcikheards.

don't get me wrong this is not something i often do or indeed ever do but this guy was an unbelievable dick head and maybe if dapper read the whole post he'd understand that i was in fact not too happy at the gent in question constantly disregarding me despite the fact that I had done nothing wrong.

well to be honest i thought it was pretty **** what he was doing to me. Trying to make a mockery of me because i am young. I put him in his place and do not regret being the bigger man but indeed took pleasure out of seeing the look on his face.

In this situation neither of you were 'big' men. Dont stoop to this guys level. You just target yourself. The rest of the table now think your the twat at the table and should be 'put in you place'.

Learn from this, admit ur wrong and be a better person/player for it.

TacT

if you have the nuts you insta call, you do not sit there for 1, 2 or 10minutes pondering a call. It doesn't matter if he's the biggest ******************
in the universe. Having 15+ outs when there's a lot of heavy betting going on is rather nice too

shoutman

Actually i got congratulated for doing that by some elderly man at the table who had earlier commented to the man in question to lay off me.


But in future i will, as I normally do flip the cards instantly and wait for the pot to be passed my way

Spot on. And when you do get home, lying in bed staring at the ceiling, cant sleep with adrenalin and playing all the good hands over in your head again.

BTW, the money I have won always fits in my wallet.

I get a great deal of satisfaction from folding the second best hand.

Or in a live game, raising from UTG with rags just to get the ol' ticker going mad and mess with peoples heads

RMcG

Best buzz would have to be flopping the nutz while high on pure MDMA and receiving a hand job from the dealer (of eastern european origin) as she deals the river.........yep that would do it for me!!!!!!! Will this get deleted by the mods......hmmm i wonder!!!!!!!

ArmaniJeanss

The great (or outrageously lucky) comeback is my fav.
An example from like 10 minutes ago in a $5 STT on PPP.
After having KK (I raised 4xBB) busted by JTs (rivered flush) and walking into
a FullHouse with the NutFlush (double-paired board so I was stupid ) I find myself starting Hand9 with 140 chips. (6 of 9 players remaining) :mad:

The Comeback begins.
Hand 11. All in with KJo. Called by KTo and win 310 chips.
Hand 12&13. Lose BB & SB. Down to 220 chips.
Hand 14. 220 chips All-in from button with 88. 4 callers. Board is 6J4QT.
Chipleader (7000+) bets 400 after river and I assume I'm dead.
980 chips come my way. Chip leader is a muppet.
Hand 15. AQo in CO. CO-1 calls, I push. Co-1 calls with TQs. 2110 chips
Hand 18. Couple of limpers into my BB. I flop trip 2s win 600 chips.
Hand 31 1910 chips. AA on button. UTG raise to 600. I push. All fold.
Hand 32 We lose a player.
Hand 33 3010 chips AA (again). Raise to 600 UTG. Small blinds calls. Flop KK3.
2 checks. Turn 4. SB bets 800. Confused, I fold via time out.
Hand 36. We lose a player, 4 left.
Hand 44. The 2nd chip leader pushes pre-flop with AKo. Chip leader calls with A9s and rivers a 9. Happy days. I'm in the money.
Hand 49 1560 chips. Again the two bigger stacks go all-in and the big stack wins.
Hand 50 1160 chips. Push with A4 and lose to A2 flopping a 2. Finish 2nd.

Absolutely brilliant rush though from a game I'd written off. Shame I couldnt win it though (i'd have claimed a Sorrento SnackBox from Powers if I'd won).

The moral - never give up no matter how bad the chip stacks, there are muppets out there who will willingly do stupid things to get you into the money.
AJ

Duff Man Jr.

Flopping the Nuts and a raise and reraise coming into you. Or Making a tough laydown and showing after he shows and you can hear the whispers around the table going wow good fold, good fold.....

roryc

winning a hand on the river.... Ive heard its pretty good..

No, no ... having a bad beat free night!

Ahhhh heaven.......

kincsem

I recently enjoyed playing 22 in mid/late position, flop K2Q, and the early position players start putting chips in the pot. What could they have? Reluctantly I flat call.
I just love letting others force the play in this situation. At the river a little re-raise, just enough that they can't resist calling. Then "surprise, surprise"

Amaru

Figuring out how to beat the rigging software of online poker, and then laughing at the people who haven't!

ArmaniJeanss

When very shortstacked, on bubble, UTG, in an STT.....Putting your hand over
the screen where your cards are, clicking Raise All-in, getting a call, keeping
your hand over your cards so you don't know if the board is good or not.
And then seeing the chips come your way.
Great fun (not very sensible perhaps)
