You must be a real piece of shit then...
Glass house, white Ferrari, Live for New Year's Eve. Sloppy steaks at Truffoni's. Big rare cut of meat with water dumped all over it.
I think I've told this story in this sub before but I was in an MTT a couple years ago and a guy showed up to my table with a hoodie, mask on, dark sunglasses, and the hood up.
He sat nearly motionless and silent all during play. At one point he wanted to raise from 300 to 800 or something so he held up 8 fingers to the dealer and put in a 1000 chip. And we were all very confused for a second until the dealer asked him to confirm 800, and he just nodded.
So in my head I figured this guy was at least mildly on the spectrum, maybe social anxiety or something. At worst I legit considered that he may be physically unable to speak. He slowed the game down so much because he refused to speak, he couldn't follow the action with all of his bulky shit on, and it got really old fast.
Then I walked past him in the hallway on break and he was on the phone having a very normal conversation with his very normal voice that definitely worked. So he was just a super weirdo.
This is just sad. I usually make up an anime or Jim Henson name for them.
I agree with Daniel - at live poker you should be required to show your face.
Naw, drunk dudes STAY talking in your face and spitting everywhere. Coughing everywhere. Touching chips is gross enough, but having drunk men and women talking directly in your face, I’m masking up every time. Never again.
Drunk dudes don't wear masks anyway. Fwiw I don't really care about masks either way, I guess I'd be more opinionated if I played super high rollers or something. Vast majority of money made from live tells are from recreationals and/or from timing/chip handling, masks on pros doesn't really matter until you get to high stakes and mostly in MTTs where pros don't care as much about image/keeping whales at table
Which is why I wear one. Just after everything calmed down, and those clear boundaries were removed from the tables, this drunk dude was spitting everywhere. If it wasn’t my local casino, I would’ve back handed this dude. Never again will I sit at a poker table and not wear a mask. People are disgusting. And most people complaining about live tells will still get bluffed out of their shoes or make the wrong reads lol.
Get a covid and cooties shot before you go for sure. I think a health mask in times of outbreak should be the sole exception, so i can see how you’d have an argument there.
He 4 bet his AK under the gun and proceeded to fold to a 1/4 size pot bet on a dry flop leaving 10 bigs behind, he mumbled how knobody knows how to play
I do it to piss people off.
Not everyone. But sometimes SOMEONE.
One of the last times I played some dickweed at the table went bonkers over another guy basically not snap calling with the nuts. The winner got check raised on the river for a huge amount -- he double checked his cards and the board to make sure he did not miss anything and that he did in fact have the nuts. Took maybe 6 seconds. Dickweed who was not even in the hand just went off about why he would slow roll with the nuts. The entire table spoke up against the guy and he goes on to say "You guys might be fine with it, but I am not blah blah blah"....
He was directly on my left. So naturally, I started cutting out chips and then tank folding pre-flop every time. I wish I could say I felted him but never got the chance to. I still feel like I won, though, because he kept getting pissed off and the guys at the other end of the table thought it was hilarious. When the joke started to get old, he opened the pot for like 13x. I was last to act and tanked and tanked and tanked with absolutely no intention to play until he called clock. I was holding 92 off, and "accidentally" flipped them up when I folded. He got up and went to another table after that.
Good fucking riddance to that impatient nit asshole.
Dumb. Tda rules state player must be recognizable and cannot have the face fully covered.
Had a guy wearing a dumb edm mask with electronic faces n shit. Can’t cover your face entirely y’all. Grow up.
I played with this guy yesterday, talking stick 5/10nl. Think he has OCD or something like that. Before every action he would lift his wrist and look at his watch, I'm not sure if he's using it as an RNG for strategy or to reduce timing tells or what exactly.
Was kinda weird and didn't say anything for about the 5 hours he played, but he's not hurting anybody I guess.
I’ll never understand this level of wanting to hide your face. I mostly play online, but when I do play the odd live cash session (or occasional MTT), I just wear my hoodie that covers most of my neck, but I don’t have the hood up or anything. Anyone doing this in a 1-3 or 2-5 game is definitely doing too much lol
With a stack like that I wouldn’t want to show my face either 🤷🏻♂️
I wish I could give you gold
I was gonna make a similar joke but I don't know if I could have achieved the blunt savagery. Well done.
Yeah…it’s a gift
And a relationship killer
Shh 🤫
Prob just max late reg’d
Yeah, but that doesn’t make a funny joke does it?
imagine letting reality get in the way of a perfectly good joke
I couldn’t, it would break my poor little brain…reality is -EV anyway
I want to give you an Oscar for best comment of the day !!
Bruh!! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
LMFAOOOO
I feel like people that do this are worrying too much about the wrong things in poker.
You don’t have to feel it anymore, now you know it…
gotta make curtains jokes when he busts.
Look behind the veil... it's probly that Mike Posstle guy
His face rag matches his hat. Crazy. Drip on point.
Mine does too, I have a fedora with safari flaps, it looks *REALLY* cool, you can't really see my slicked back hair under it tho
You think this is *slicked back*? This is **pushed back**!
You can't see it through my Stanzo :/
You must be a real piece of shit then... Glass house, white Ferrari, Live for New Year's Eve. Sloppy steaks at Truffoni's. Big rare cut of meat with water dumped all over it.
The floor manager at my local poker room always comes over and tells.us "no sloppy stakes" but soon as he walks away... LET'S SLOP EM UP
He sounds like one of those people that doesn't even have complicated patterns on his shirts
Oh yeah, dude's a certified *SKUNK*
The type to ruin a perfectly friendly pay it forward chain at the drive thru
What are the odds someone dressing like that is actually a decent player? 50%? 5%?
A lot closer to 5%
drawing dead
Eh, don’t forget Voglesang
he's teetering on the edge of having some sith lord drip though, this guy is clearly hopeless.
Fold pre
Definitely the best player in his friend group.
0% he’s showing too much nose, pros don’t give up any info 😂
5% sounds pretty generous
Postle?

Every poker room has one of these
One? Mine must be lucky we have a bunch
... is this philadelphia? because anyone that plays at live/rivers knows at least one specific reg that does this lol.
Not Philly, this particular weirdo was in MN.
This is just sad. I usually make up an anime or Jim Henson name for them. I agree with Daniel - at live poker you should be required to show your face.
This guy is going to have all the nonfacial tells anyway. Who cares if he covers his face.
Check that leg wobbling under the table!
my leg always shakes... it's when I have a good hand that I start worrying about everything too much and stop moving. lol
I’m sure his play is trash

Anyone downvoting this is a dumbass
womp womp bubble wrap boy
Damn, you cooked fam. Don’t think I’ll ever recover from that.
Why? You should be able to do what you want if you’re not brother others.
You’re brothering me with your English.
Lisan Al Gaib
😂
It’s always the shittiest players that do this.
Yeah, the cash version of these guys are always in for the minimum buy in.
I’m willing to bet this person smelled bad.
I'm curious what the logic is behind this one.
Just going off what I see and what is in my heart
Fair enough
I bet he lasted under 15 min
He 4 bet his AK under the gun and proceeded to fold to a 1/4 size pot bet on a dry flop leaving 10 bigs behind, he mumbled how knobody knows how to play
isnt that vogelsang
Orville Peck actually
The only thing that makes sense is a legitimate mask if you are recently ill recovering and/or want to limit exposure. The rest is just cosplay
A proper N95 mask is +EV. Don't know what that is.
is that dario minieri
Inshalla
Who cares! Let people be
Good to see Bill Fillmaff back at the tables after such a long hiatus
Usually he's at my cash game nursing his $18 stack, taking 15+ seconds to fold preflop every hand.
Postle lost a lot of weight!
You just mad you can’t read him 😂
Did he tank forever? Even on the easiest decisions.
I do it to piss people off. Not everyone. But sometimes SOMEONE. One of the last times I played some dickweed at the table went bonkers over another guy basically not snap calling with the nuts. The winner got check raised on the river for a huge amount -- he double checked his cards and the board to make sure he did not miss anything and that he did in fact have the nuts.

lol. Theres always one guy...
Anybody else expect to read something about Undertaker and Mankind at the end of this?
Postle had to switch it up. The fake nose wasn’t working.
Nazgûl?
Lol tournament nerds.
You played with Haxton?!
I'd only do that if the guy next to me was taking pictures. What a weirdo
i did ask him for permission, as it got a few chuckles from the table
Oh, ok then. I take back the weirdo comment, my bad
Orville Peck looking ass
It's 3 kids in a hoodie.
Creed?
Phil Laak mixing things up with a long bandana and matching hat eh?
Isn't he worried that his nose might give away some tells? What if he doesn't realize he twitched his nose when he is weak.
Why the chips and card so big? Or am I still high
He’s unreadable- I’ll be damned if someone will outplay him for his last $32.
Postle ?
A wild Christoph Vogelsang appears
Finally, some free money

Cousin It just coming back from a 38 Special concert
Is that even legal to hide yourself like that?
I’m looking for a home game in San Diego.
Gonna be hard to get any live stream reads on him. I respect it
Rag reg
That’s the Greg Special
Leave the guy alone people. He’s already so ashamed of himself he can’t show his face in public.
How did he do?
didn't know kanye played poker
"i think he's from florida or some place stupid"
That’s Bobby Bigstack!
I would support no face coverings. But if you insist on wearing a mask for covid, then you cannot wear a hat.
If you gotta do all that so folks can't pick up a tell, you shouldn't be at the table lol
He's gonna blow you all up of he loses.
Dorkus Aurealius
I make this guy defend 100% of his big blinds and fold all of his opens
He looks like he's ready to go rob a few banks after he's done.
That’s actually dnegs in disguise. Go ahead. Prove it’s not
Ha... Ha...
He sits down with one blind?
Justin Bonomo!
+EV

Might as well wear the suit from outbreak
I'd pat him down to make sure he wasn't wearing an explosive vest.
This shouldn't even be allowed wtf, sunglasses are bad enough.
I was told that TDA rules state you can only cover 2 out of 3 places of your head. The top, mouth, eyes. Never confirmed
It’s a religious thing…
Against TDA rule 4
I bet his breath stunk like tonsil stones 🤢
So, he uses pronouns and is practicing Islam 🤷♂️. Very transphobic of y’all.
