You Lucky Bar Stool
You Lucky Bar Stool
Luck’s great, luck’s amazing and it’s often viewed as the life blood of poker as it keeps fools flooding back to a game they have no virtually chance to win at over the long term, because hitting those too few outer’s to justify there call is a marvellous feeling, It’s addictive and its also a big fuck you to all those people who constantly criticise there poor play, because “Well it won, didn’t it”. And so we are often told we need to learn to rejoice and celebrate these beats, they are what keep the game profitable so rejoice in you misfortune.
Well anyone who thinks this can just fuck right off, how are you supposed to enjoy taking a beat! You can’t, it’s just horrible and the more retarded the call the more it makes you choke with rage when they pull miracle, running cards out of there arse. Personally I believe there’s something fundamentally wrong with any game that allows a player the opportunity to make the most horrible decisions and then see such outrageous good fortune save them, I believe its time for a change in the rules.
Now I’m not talking about someone getting lucky with an under pair or making a dodgy overcall with AJ or pushing a poor flush draw, no I’m talking about those spectacular calls you get under the name of value or so many of the crime’s committed in the name of pot odd’s or pot commitment, (Even if you have stuck 75% of your chips into the pot with seven high your not pot committed if you have 30BB’s you fucking idiot, fold every now and again you fucktard) No I’m talking about those mystical, surreal calls with absolutely nothing, that seem to so often catch miracle running cards.
And here’s what I’m suggesting, every player at the start of the tournament gets one bad beat chip, now if a phenomenal enough bad beat is suffered then the players at the table can throw this chip into the middle before the pot is dragged, if 70% of the table throw there chip in then the player who suffers the beat has the following options available to them,
1.) He can have his chip’s back
2.) He can have half his chips backs and get give his opponent a Chinese burn
3.) The TD get’s called over and his opponent has to explain his
thinking on the hand, its then up to the TD to decide if the reasoning during this hand is so is so bad it warrants a “Donkey kick” punishment, this could be anything from forfeiting all his chips, having to apologise for being a thick headed fool or giving Tony G a back rub.
I know people will be quick to criticise this idea, but can you imagine the fun of seeing Matusow giving Hellmuth a Chinese burn. I’d pay to watch that and I think it’s the future of televised poker.
