8/16

Passive player on less than a rack raises UTG. It might be something funny, but I'm inclined to think it's a big pocket pair because big Aces are usually limped in this game.

Loose/badish crazy asian lady calls.

I just call with 99 from MP because it's too much hand to fold here but I don't think I'm good here often enough to 3-ball it.

Blinds call.

5 to the flop, it's 6 high with 2 spades. BB bets, EP calls! (ok, maybe big cards) folded to me and I raise for a bunch of reasons. Folded to EP who 3-balls it, EP caps (WTF?!?!). At this point I'm torn between LoLTrappedU and LoLDraw, but not sold enough that I'm beat so I call to sort this mess out on the turn.

Turn is a non-spade Eight. BB bets, EP calls, I'm in WTF mode but can't really find a fold given the action. I think about raising but can't find a raise either so I just call.

River is a non-spade King. BB checks, EP checks and I think about betting but just check behind...

KoRnholio will become famous soon enough
I could see BB having a hand like 77 or TT here a lot. EP probably AQ or AJ of spades? I can't see betting here getting much value.
Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

I see this all the time on 1/2 at Ongame but it still confuses the crap outta me. I really do hate these hands but I would say 77

EP has AA, and you can fold facing two. Almost every turn card is terrible for you anyway.
<Staxalax> Honestly, #flopturnriver is the one thing that has improved my game the most.
