Subject: The gobble "XaQ"

Nothing drives me more crazy than the gobble. Play NL holdem long enough,
cash or tourney, and you'll run into these masters of the gobble, and they
will slowly eat away at any sanity you have left with their gobbling
gobble style.
There's no good way to play vs. a gobbler, because they are out there to
master the art of the gobble. The gobble is the most worthless bet in
poker. Nothing is more useless than some gobbler calling a raise with
A3o, checking the A high flop, then throwing in the check-gobble vs. some
poor shmuck with KK.
The gobble is everywhere. There's the pre-flop gobble, which entices
everyone to call and try to bust said gobbler. There's the previously
mentioned check-gobble, the "I have 55 the board is QJ9, and I think you
have AK" flop gobble, and then of course there's the "I chased my hand all
the way to the end and hit it" fucking river gobble.
I'm serious, the best way to take all my chips is to get a team of
gobblers at a table, and just have them take turns gobbling my stack away.
Pre-flop gobble, check gobble, turn gobble, river gobble, it's all there.
Just take my chips, I can lose another buyin. Fucking gobblers.

It has come to my attention that my dear friends on RGP might not know
what the gobble is. The gobble, of course, is the min raise, and to some
extent, the min bet. The term was coined by TNL, and completely overused
and kicked in the head by me. No doubt FellKnight will be writing a
"guide to gobbling" article soon.

Like we don't realize this is just to whip up demand for your next T-shirt

I detest these vermin more than anything. They price you in on the most
worthless of draws, forcing you to chase them, which just whittles away
your stack. And if you have had enough and make a huge raise, they're
usually calling stations who call you with middle pair and you whiff your
draw. That, or some other player has been lurking in the weeds, knowing
the moron on the button is going to make his little bitch bet, so when you
check-raise with nothing, he comes over the top. At least if you have a
real hand, you can make a big bet and pre-empt their bullshit.
There seems to be no satisfactory way of playing against these vermin.
Their thumbs should be broken.
There is a certain satisfaction in cracking their pocket aces because they
play pocket aces this way too. Cracking them with 83 is what they
deserve. But really, breaking their thumbs would be much more fun.

Yes! Nothing I hate more than this! Here, reading this should almost
tilt you:
I raise with, oh, say, AhJh, gobbler on the BB calls.
Flop is 9h Tc Qh. I flopped an absolute monster.
There it is, the fucking gobble. I raise. Gobbler calls.
Turn is something useless, like 5c. And there it is again. Gobble. I
raise again, bigger this time. Gobbler calls.
And then the perfect river. The fucking 6s. So now the gobbler checks.
You of course can't stand to just check behind, so you bet 1/2 the pot or
so, which is pretty big after all the gobbles and raises, but of course,
gobbler calls you with Kh6h and takes the pot.
These fuckers drive me crazy. I'm serious. You guys could stack me, one
gobble at a time, and there's nothing I can do about it. Hell, for 1BB
I'll call with 3 high all the way to the river.

Add a gobbler that you have to wait 15 seconds on every time the arrow
hits em. I want to get busted just so I can leave.
