Had a guy sit at my table tonight. Full ring 25NL on Party. He sits with a full buy in. His first bet is all in. One caller a smaller stack with $20. The small stack won with a flush. This guy went all in with a K2o. His next bet all in again for his remaining $5, again one caller. This time he wins. Cant remember what he had, but it wasnt a big hand. 3rd hand, you guessed it all in again. Again he gets one caller and looses the hand to an Ace high card. 3 hands and he donks his stack and leaves the table. Why cant I get anything to play when these guys sit down?

And the worst thing is when you're so tempted by their complete idiocy that you call with, say, ATo and this time, of course, they have AJ...

(not that I'm speaking from specific experience or anything, oh no )

I've seen people do this at the $100 tables.

I've called this push with as little as ATs/88.

When I think the other guy is an idiot I'll make some pretty loose pre-flop calls. Lukie has seen a couple real gems where I'm pretty sure he would have thought I was behind.

I had T3o , 62s , and K2o. All pretty early position. I would have loved to play something, but with early positions I didnt want to risk someone behind me also calling his ignorance.

It's great when you really have a hand. But you really need AQ+ or a higher pp (88+).

Once I was dealt AQ, he pushes UTG, I call UTG+1, and the BB called too, assuming it was just another marginal call. I ended up in AQ vs A2 & A7. But another time, similar situation, I hit my Q on the flop, but the 3rd guy who joined in had AA and took my stack.

Generally, I like to gamble with these guys if I can see they're really going crazy. Early pos with a good hand, later pos with "anything halfway decent".

Sometimes you get sucked out though.. like yesterday KK vs A7o, he actually hit the flush on his ace! Hand thereafter I get JJ, push again, he calls as I espected, he flips AQ (damn he had a hand now) and hits his Q. So my stack was gone in two consecutive gambles vs this guy. He kept winning cointoss odds thereafter vs two more people, then left. It always sucks when they win and leave

Then there is the somewhat less crazy kind, like a guy I had at my table yesterday aswell. He kept pushing preflop on 88+ or AQ+ and on the flop if he hit anything better than TP - like overpair or two pair or better he insta-pushed his 150BB stack. Sadly I never got a hand when he did this. All you need is to get AA/KK just once when he gets TT, or a set just once when he gets overpair.. but like I said, yesterday it never came up

I will flip with shorties with AQ+, 99+, unless I have them pegged as camper (keep notes).

I have been playing at Pacific for 2 weeks now on the full 25Nl tables and have seen quite a few people go allin first hand. The other night i sat a table and was dealt AA first hand, I didn't even think about and pushed all in and some one called with AJo.

btw, pacific now has multitabling and is pretty fishy
