This is from a $1/$2 NLHE game in Atlantic City. Everyone who has ever played live has experienced the "old man." They are weak/loose/passive and generally spewy stations. Its basically a lock that any guy over 60 not named Brunson is playing this style. I am playing a standard game and raising a normal amount of hands pre but the rest of the table is passive.
Old man: Son, you got a problem.
Me: What's that?
Old man: Its a disease called raise-itis and you've got a bad case of it.
Me: ...
Old man: Raise, raise, raise. You can just call too you know.
Later on he needled me but I am sure it was not even on purpose. I have QQ and raise because of my uncontrollable case of raise-itis and get 4 callers. I flop QJJ and end up getting it in on a blank turn with villain who has Jx and spikes the case Jack to take down a $500 pot.
Random player 1: Damn, that's a one outer!
Random player 2: What a bad beat!
Old man: That's not a bad beat, I'll tell you about a bad beat. I once flopped a full house with 44 on 4TT flop so I checked it and the turn came another T so I checked it. And can you believe it but the river came T and some guy won with Ace high.
Me: So did anyone ever bet or did you guys just check it down?
Old Man: No, we just checked it down
Me: So you lost like $10 or something?
Old Man: No, just $2, I limped preflop.
Me: ...
I had the "old man" at a table at Harrah's in New Orleans. I had just sat down at a table and within three hands realized that the old guy and a young guy in his mid 20's across the table had some bad blood. The old man was visibly drunk and they both got it in on a 445 board. The kid had 55 and the man had 44. The man stands up a goes fuck you motherfucker, this is motherfucking america!!!! ti which the dealer called over security and they had a long chat with the old man about appropriate behavior. I laughed a lot.
He was mad that he won with quads?!?
