May I have the envelope please?

I was playing a 38.00 sit n go on Stars last night and EVERY player at the table was absolutely terrible. Raise min. with nothing in first position. Bet min. (20 or 30) into a 700 chip pot. Then fold when someone would raise another 30. One guy had AA, then couple hands later had KK. Didn't raise either time, then bitched about being sucked out on. Another guy was pissing and moaning the whole time, stuff like "how many three outers can I lose to in one night" and "you called my raise with a seven. what an idiot" even though he raised thirty and the guy that called was in the BB with 30 already in. My point is that it is hard not to wonder why these people play at all. I'm glad they do, but still wonder.

Card Player had an article that was talking about how many people are winning only because the games are so soft, and eventually they will become much tougher games again when the boom dies down. I fully agree. These guys will only lose so much before they figure out they suck.

I dont understand how these guys sit down with so much money, and then do that stuff. WHen do they get rewarded for plays like that so that they think they can keep making them??

Maybe I should have posted the hand where the other guy called my preflop raise with 72s, flopped a weak flush draw on a scary board (I had two pair with AQ) and called me all the way down, hitting his flush on the river.

It happens all the time. Well, at least often enough to keep them coming back for more.

now wait a minute -- i dunno about you, but I was pretty sure you were bluffin there and my 7 high was good in that spot after the turn.

lmao..

Even if i had accidently clicked the raise button preflop, my me spilling my been on my lap, and jumping up with the cold and clicking frantically, i would have checked the flop, and raised triple to your bet, making you fold hopfully.

I mean he cant play hands, he cant even bluff! Tell me you took the whole of his stack in the end??
