Outcome: Hero wins 38.75 BB.

BB only raised 2/52 hands, yet limped in over 50% of the time. When he re-raised me I automatically put him on KK or AA. Since I figured him for such a terrible player, I knew he'd at least call to river with his overpair despite all the action.

With all those people calling his bet on the flop, I knew the 3-bet and cap would go smoothly. What I didn't know was we would be capping every round! He finally shutdown on the river, but thankfully extremely loose UTG player stuck around to hit his obvious straight which he thought was the nuts.

That hand was simply beautiful.

Even though I lost the hand... the funny part is what I lost to: 32s limped from UTG. I ended up losing 100% of the time when I saw the flop on that table. Ah, the shit end of variance! Other times I lost include losing to a runner runner flush (J3s hitting running clubs), and losing to a 3-outter (89o making two-pair for some fish).

Still, I ended up 30.6BB/100 over the course of 130 hands. I cannot complain with that!

"That hand was just beautiful... you'd NEVER get paid off like that in 5/10 and beyond games."

I play $5/$10 and beyond. You're wrong. But don't worry this is a situation where its good to be wrong.

You're telling me you would have someone cap every street with just an overpair in 5/10? Show me those hand examples! I find it incredibly hard to believe people can play anything even CLOSE to this terribly at 5/10.

How about I modify it to... only on PP's low-limit tables can you consistently find numerous players on your table who will pay you off immensely on your huge hands.

These are actual hands I saw when I was at a table of $20/$40 on Interpoker. The hand converter does not work with it but I will not show the player's name as I find that insulting. I will call him "Villain" and the person who had the hand against him "Lucky Boy"

Yea.

A raise UTG with 32o, then cold calling 2 more? You almost can't believe that a human would be that stupid. You almost have to think that it's a robot on the fritz.

No human could honestly be stupid enough to bet $360 believing that his bottom pair with 2 kicker could be good. This guy was either on the mother of all tilts, or honestly has to get nudged in his styrofoam helmet by his mother every few seconds to remember to take a breath between soiling himself and pissing in his diaper. I mean, this is almost like that movie "The Gods Must be Crazy," when the pilot throws a Coke bottle out of the plane and a bushman picks it up and spends half a 2-hour movie trying to throw it back, only to have him continuously get hit in the head as the bottle inevitably comes back down.

LuckyBoy#2 at least had some sort of hand, and tried to protect it by raising. Sort of.

As piers would say, the trisomic 21 population is alive and well on Interpoker's 20/40.

It was an interesting situation at the table because Cryptos don't have a cap heads up so I was essentially playing chicken. I have two pair, how many big bets am I willing to go on the river? Then I'd go 7 bets with him and he'd show ten high. My guess was they came from the casino and LITERALLY didn't know how to play poker, or it was an angry ex girlfriend on her ex boyfriends account trying to lose all his money.

The gentlemen lost a whopping $2083.12 in 103 hands.

Yes the sometimes insane play is not limited to the low limits
