I started playing online poker again. Today was the first time I've played in about 6-8 months. In the one 10 player sit and go game I played today I happened to encounter every online player cliche:

1) The guy who shows you every hand he bluffs to win.

Thanks for letting me know you were bluffing the last 10 hands you won. I'll remember that next time I have a good hand. I took him out on a hand he was bluffing.

2) The all in small blind.

This guy goes all in everytime everyone before him folds to put pressure on the guy next to him to fold. Needless to say he was taken out when the guy next to him called his all-in. The small blind had 10s6c and the big blind had JJ.

3) The guy who tells you what you have before he plays.

This was a good one. He was the first one booted in the game. Player 1 raised pre flop. Player 2 calls. Everyone else folds. Flop comes down all low cards. Player 1 bets. Player 2 says in the chat box "you have AK, but I paired up", so he goes all in. Player 1 calls with 2 pair (neither card being ace or king).

4) The guy thats better than you

He'll let you know it too. He knows when you're bluffing and when he's wrong, he starts cursing. The guy in the game I played today said that he had played in multiple WSOP final tables but never won a ring. Another player replies with "don't you mean bracelet?" That guy shut up pretty quick.

On a hand late in the game, I bet hard. He tells me I'm bluffing as I've done this everytime I'm in the dealer position. He goes raises me all in. I call with a high pocket pair to his JQ suited and win. For the next 5 hands he goes on a rant about how I'm a terrible player and got lucky. At this point he's playing on tilt and is going in almost every hand and finally another guy takes him out.

I wonder why a professional player was playing a $10 game.

5) The guy that goes down with the ship.

He's the one that will bet pre flop and refuse to fold. He'll call you all the way to the river with a low pair. Love this guy. He never makes it far though.

It was quite the cast of characters I was playing with today. They're always amusing. Anyone have anymore that they want to add to the list?

Depending on stack size in relation to the blinds + antes, being one of these guys can be a good thing.

You're very right. However, in a lot of cases its stupid. In this particular guys case he was going all in on the small blind thinking "I have to raise to bluff him out of the pot". Instead of giving a decent raise that, if called, wouldn't have killed him he continually went all in. Which took him out in the end.

The "Ooh I have 2 suited cards and I flopped 2 more" Chaser

No matter what the bet they think they are going to catch that flush. They have no clue about percentages. Last week during the second hand of a tournament I re-raised pre-flop with KK and got one caller. Pot size bet after the flop came low with 2 to the flush and she called. Made a pot size bet for 1/2 her original stack after the flop where the 3rd of the suit (but my trip kings did) didnt hit yet and she CALLED again. She hit the nut flush on the river for the rest of my chips. Cunt.

Everyone is a Donk except you player

You can make the same move another guy does and when it works for you he is a donk but when it works for him he is brilliant. Had a guy call me a donk in an Pot Limit H/L 8s or better Omaha tourney last week when I limped in with a middle type starting hand and hit a low flush and didnt bet all the way through. I finished 4/130 and he finished 32/130. Yeah, donk.

I like the All-In on the first hand of a tourney in an attempt to double-up quickly.

I'm thinking of playing a few hands online, but I haven't played in forever, and I have no idea how I would go about funding an account now. Any suggestions who to use, and how to fund?
