Random Poker Thoughts: I Put You All-In & Perfect Card

Some random poker thoughts on “I Put You All-In” and Finding the Perfect Playing Card:

The “I Put You All-In” Phrase

How did the phrase, “I put you all-in” get started? This has to be, without a doubt, one of the dumbest poker trends I’ve seen in a long time. How can anybody put me all-in? Don’t I still have the right to fold?

While I still think it’s stupid for people to say this with multiple players left in the hand, it’s even common for players to utter the phrase when there are only two players left in the hand. Is “I put you all-in” even a legal bet? Why not just say, “I’m all-in”?

Some will argue it’s an intimidation thing, but I don’t buy it. Maybe it’s just me, but I figure if this type of statement intimidates you, you won’t be playing poker for long. What are the odds you just happen to hit the newbie who can be intimidated before he ends up quitting the game all together? I’m guessing slim and none and slim is walking to the door.

The Perfect Playing Card

Why can’t I find the perfect playing card?

All I want is:

  • Bridge-size cards
  • Poker peek (corner) index
  • White cards
  • Bright colors
  • Colorful back
  • Easy to shuffle, control, and pitch

Is that too much to ask?
