re: The craziest/best poker call I've ever seen (270k pot)

If she says from the beginning, oh shite, I thought I had a 3 or even looked surprised when she turned over j4, This wouldn’t be anything. The fact she couldn’t articulate a coherent reasoning outside of “you didn’t have shite” or “I thought you had A high” while also feeling the need to give an explanation is what was weird.

Giving Garrett the money back is strange too. Makes it look very suspicious.

There are a thousand videos on youtube you can watch right now of people powering through jack high and worse in much bigger poker games and tournaments

There is not a way to explain it properly for poker nerds that will appease them.

Luck of the draw, eat shite would be fine.

The fact that you call it

says alot about your poker IQ. No offense.

Also, don’t they delay these broadcasts enough to where you can’t have somebody communicating the hand at play?

Its just not fair that she bet with a better hand

Some of you clearly don't understand. Let's try to dumb it down for you.

Let's say it's the opening drive of a football game. Opening kick is a touchback, and then the offensive team gets pushed back and ends up backed up to the 5 yard line. It's now 4th and 20. Score is 0-0, in the first quarter, with 13:00 minutes remaining.

That team decides to go for it on 4th down in that exact situation. Could they end up getting the first down? Sure. It doesn't make it completely reckless and stupid.

Watch the video and watch the reaction of not just the player who lost. The announcer is at a loss for words, the players at the table are in absolute shock.

Stu Unger once called with 10 high in a tournament and won. He was praised. Sure this lady is no Stu Ungar. But let’s say the situation is reversed and Garrett called with J high. Would there be a lot of praising for him or accusation of cheating?

---

There are times in theory where a 10 high call can be correct. This jack high call isn’t on of those times.

I understand it just fine

Sometimes a horrible play just works because the cards come out right

Crying about it and throwing a tantrum about it is just sad

No, you may think you do, but your comments suggest otherwise.

People say weird shite at the poker table all the time. Money and human emotion are involved, it’s to be expected. People often will stay they are 100% confident that they have the losing hand but they call anyway. And sometimes they win the hand. So what people believe and say may not be consistent with wgat they do at the table

---

I agree, I’m not even saying I think she was cheating. Maybe she was flustered and couldn’t put together anything logical and she’s 100% innocent. Her explanation was just weird and nonsensical. We also have to take into account, this isn’t your local 1/2 game.

Me too. Its been years since I've played NLHE in a cash setting.

I still know how insane this call is.
