Ok, travlng23 is 45/25 donkey. I usually don’t reraise ai here, but I knew he would call. So I reload and a few orbits later, after travlng23 has given away most of my money, I double up against him when I overplay AK and get lucky against his 77 on a TT2 flop. Travlng23 starts to berate me (rightfully so as I donkeyed AK and got lucky) and as usual I don’t type anything in reply. Then my kid wakes up from a nap so I stand up to leave table and the best chat ever takes place. It didn’t get saved because I wasn’t playing, but the jist of it is that I misplayed KK because he had odds to call preflop. He actually said that because of pot odds AND implied odds he was right to call with 44 even if he knew I had KK, furthermore, he argued that because I made such an overbet he thought he had me dominated. It is like he was just throwing poker 101 vocabulary words out there, kind of like when I try and speak French.

Not sure why I am posting this, other than it was funny and to post my favorite line of the chat, paraphrased here.

Travlng23 “you are just terrible”
Me “yeah I suck, but this particular situation is a case of the pot and kettle arguing about shades of black”

That is funny.... I love when the idiots remove all doubt about them being idiots by chatting like that.

And yes, there really are (a lot of) players that dumb.
