Saw an interesting hand online earlier.

Flop comes KK3 rainbow. Three players jam the pot on the flop.

Turn is an 8 rainbow. Same three players jam the pot.

River is a 4 - same three players jam again.

The winning hand is K2o, the other players both have Ace high in the hole.

Clearly, the two losing players are maniacs, yet watching their previous play, you wouldn't have thought so.

What bothers me is that if I had been holding the K2, I would have ditched it when the pot kept getting jammed. I'd have thought that at least one of them must have the other K and if so my kicker is useless, so I must be beat. What else could they have been betting so aggressively with? I might have carried on with just one opponent, but not two.

Maybe one day I'll figure this game out! Until then, I hope I come up against such maniacs when I have a good hand. MInd you, if it isn't the nuts, I'd have to think twice!

Sometimes I think "maniacs" are playing together!
Not because I'm paranoid or anything, but sometimes
I really can't think of any other logic explanation
for so much stupidity!!!!
