Low-limit madness

[MathBabe]

This was just too funny not to post. No questions on how I played it... but check out these three people raising and re-raising each other with a nothing board. The way they behaved, they should have all had a high pocket pair...

Mathbabe, the mere fact that you have PT, know math, consider how to play hands, etc. makes me think you should be playing for more than dimes – 1/2 perhaps at least. I don’t think the level of players you find there is going to be much better than at the microlimits – who knows, it might be worse. Is it simply a bankroll issue?

[MathBabe]

You got it. Until I get a job I'm trying to make do with what I've already got deposited, and build it up. I have been playing the .25/.50 tables sometimes lately, and it's going well, although the players are a bit tighter. Thanks for the vote of confidence!
