I dont think this is just me wanting to complain about my losing streak; several 2+2 posters have been asking the same thing (they were talking about 2/4 and 1/2). I'm seeing a higher than normal number of eagles and moneybags on my tables. The past few days, Ive run into 2 in particular on several occasions:

stacysmom509 (TA-N)
maxima55 (TP-P, but on the looser end and a good player)

The pond is still mostly fish, but what are all these better-than-average players doing down in my micro-game?
Is that guy still part of the forum??

Learn to beat unimaginative players that run 8 tables, have never set foot on a 6 max table and don't really understand much outside of camping monster hands waiting for the fish to bite. But occasionally make all sorts of silly moves against players like me to try to compensate.

Problem solved.

I believe maxima55 is a bot. I've got over 200 hands on him that say he is a 10% rock at .50/1.00. And while futzing around at a 2+2 table one night, several others mentioned that he might be.

Check around and see how many tables he is playin on next time you see him.

I'm about 95% certain there are bots playing the Party .5/1 game.

Well if he is a bot he sucks as a bot. Short sample size though

10.85 VP$IP
1.5PFR (AA/AKo once each)
-$50

-7/100BB's


super weak/tight.

Sounds about right given the current state of the art in full ring poker bots...

Wow, I can understand UTG+1 not getting out of the hand, but I wonder what the BB had that he would cap and 3-bet the turn.
