Abby Merk: The $3,500 Loss That Almost Made Me Quit Poker | DSH #1589

Like your opponent is literally saying I have like

nothing nothing or I have a boat and that's literally it and he had 10 seconds to basically go with his gut and he ended up like being forced to fold his hand because the 10 second time clock ran out like it does feel as though there are certain situations where

10 seconds is simply too quick.

But on the other hand, unfortunately, it's not like they just randomly were like, here's 10 seconds.

Like clearly the guy has respectfully deserved this.

Digital Social Hour
Abby Merk: The $3,500 Loss That Almost Made Me Quit Poker | DSH #1589

Abby Merk: The $3,500 Loss That Almost Made Me Quit Poker | DSH #1589

Oh man, I don't think I've played with a lot of like,

Digital Social Hour
Abby Merk: The $3,500 Loss That Almost Made Me Quit Poker | DSH #1589

annoying people from like a social perspective because I love the social aspect of the game like truly I do not consider myself like a super pro like I consider myself a content creator that like loves poker but at the same time like I think that there are things that people do that like

tilt the shit out of me like come on like poker is gonna be fun and like at a certain at a certain point like we can all smile we can all laugh we all have to feel like super grateful for the fact that we can play this poker game for a living right so like when people take themselves a little bit too seriously I think that annoys me but it's also like I do understand that they are trying to win just as much as I'm trying to win so like I think that there's like I have a lot of respect for them at the same time you know what I mean yeah

Digital Social Hour
Abby Merk: The $3,500 Loss That Almost Made Me Quit Poker | DSH #1589

Digital Social Hour
Abby Merk: The $3,500 Loss That Almost Made Me Quit Poker | DSH #1589

cares enough about the money to fully respect, if you will, the ICM implications of the final table.

Digital Social Hour
Abby Merk: The $3,500 Loss That Almost Made Me Quit Poker | DSH #1589

I think that could work really for him or really against him for what it's worth, because he might take spots that are like ultra aggressive because he thinks that there's a chance to capitalize on that dynamic.
