Unless you're a poker player, and maybe even if you are, you are asking yourself, "Self, WTF is a Bink? Dink?"
I was introduced to the term Bink by ComptonMasta, an Full Tilt Forum regular, awhile ago. A Bink is that lovely, sweet smelling, delicious, sexy in an almost lurid way, little nothing of a card that hits your hand so hard your opponent will be blindsided into handing you his chips.
A Bink is a work of art.
Now let me introduce to you the Dink. The Dink is that card that looks so pretty, so shiny, that you feel compelled to pay off a better hand just because you hit with the Dink. A Dink is the hot girl that sleeps with you on the first date and gives you 18 different venereal diseases.
Here's a hand from the last home cash game I played in. I'm Player 5. Thankfully my second nut flush draw didn't hit. Click through for the hand replayer.
Player3 is an aggressive player that likes to play a lot of hands. He likes to play big pots anytime he thinks he has a big hand. I have to wonder if this play didn't result from him being already a couple of buyins short for the game. I guess I can't blame him for doing it knowing he might get called down light (ala Player6) because of his image. I would have never played his hand the way he did but I'm sure I would have lost some money on that hand.
Now that you know what they are, would somebody please tell me how to tell the difference WHILE I'M IN THE HAND?
