There was 3 players just like this guy at the table, 40%+ VP$IP, WT SD % around 45%, Won Money around 40%.
Party Poker 20/40 Hold'em (6 handed)
Preflop: Hero is UTG with
![[6c]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/6c.gif "The Six of Clubs")
, ![[6h]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/6h.gif "The Six of Hearts")
. Hero raises, MP calls, 4 folds.
Flop: (5.50 SB)
![[4c]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/4c.gif "The Four of Clubs")
, ![[Ac]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Ac.gif "The Ace of Clubs")
, ![[9d]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/9d.gif "The Nine of Diamonds")
(2 players)Hero bets, MP calls.
Turn: (3.75 BB)
![[Td]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Td.gif "The Ten of Diamonds")
(2 players)Hero bets, MP calls.
River: (5.75 BB)
![[Jc]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Jc.gif "The Jack of Clubs")
(2 players)Hero checks, MP checks.
Final Pot: 5.75 BB
Results in white below:
Hero has 6c 6h (one pair, sixes).
MP has Ks Js (one pair, jacks).
Outcome: MP wins 5.75 BB.
Now I asked him after the hand,
"Why'd you call to the river with king high, then make second pair and check behind me?"
His response,
"Well, I thought you had a pair of aces."
............................
I just about started to cry, the table was THAT bad and I was still losing.
To explain why this is so bad, it's actually a very marginal hand and I wasn't at all surprised to have lost it. I get beats worse than this all the time. It was just his reasoning after the hand.

I'm up $700 since my last post, about half of which is in bonuses and rakeback. That extra money sure adds up fast.
I'll make a longer more detailed post another time, I'm feeling like going to bed/watching TV.

Since my last update I played 5,569 hands at various limits and have registered at Eurobet with a rakeback deal.
I've unlocked ~$300 worth of bonuses at various sites and earned about $100-150 in rakeback. It would have been more rakeback, but I was reading the fine print at full tilt and apparently the money they normally send to affiliates, first gets the bonus money they paid out to me directly cut from it.
The first couple days were very blah, the last 2 days were me stomping.
In all my poker winnings were +$726.35, and somewhere around $425 in bonuses and rakeback, making my net in the last several days something around $1050.
I'm very satisfied with my play lately and things are turning around for the month. Including bonuses and rakeback earned, I'm in positive numbers for the first time this month. Up, what I estimate to be around $500
I expect I'll be doing a majority of my online play at Eurobet from now on. I really appreciate the table selection of the party network, and found the best rakeback deal at Eurobet out of the skins.

Desperately (But not that desperate), trying to build my bankroll steadily, and I feel that limit is the best place for me, still.
I suspect I may eventually, if successful (and with a much larger bankroll), start playing more no limit.
Thanks for the post, it's nice to know someone is actually reading this mess.

Yet again, up and down, can't make much happen and finished with another small loss. I really don't mind quitting a loser, I really took that "one long session" thing to heart. I simply play my best every hand, and stop playing when I feel I've played enough, or I stop playing my best.

Dealt 88 in BB
Everyone folds to button (VP$IP 24 PFR 13, Postflop AF 4.5, 152 hands)
Button Raises, SB Folds, I call.
Flop: 944 rainbow
I check, he bets, I call.
I suspect I have the best hand now. I decide instead of pulling the trigger to check raise the turn regardless of what lands. I know, very reckless.
944K 2 clubs
I check, he checks.
So much for that plan. I now know something, that is, I'm ahead of him.
My biggest fear on the river is a T, J, or Q I think he may have bet A high on the turn. But I wouldn't be crazy about the river being an ace, either.. I hope for a K, 9, 8, or 4.
River, 944K9. Perfect. I now am fairly certain that he can't beat the board, and I suspect he'll take one shot at it.
I check, he bets, I call. 88 wins over Q8 suited. He infact could not beat the board.
Neat, I got the extra bet out of him that I wanted by freecarding him in a small pot.
My reasoning to make this kind of slow play?
The pot was small, 3.1BB after the rake on the flop. The likely hand I was against was two or maybe just one overs. It was also possible that he had a lower pair and was drawing to only 2 outs, instead of 3 or 6. I felt if I played back at him, he'd fold, and I wanted him to take another shot at the pot. The risk (3/45 with one over or 6/44 with two), seemed worth it considering how small the pot was.
If his aggression numbers weren't so high, I wouldn't have bothered because I couldn't be sure (or fairly sure) they'd try to bluff the river.
