This has to be one of the dumbest plays I see on a regular basis online. My point is that the opponents are making all kinds of bad bets. They randomly bet whenever its checked to them and its retarded. Thats why I check/call a lot more on the river with iffy hands because it appears that it takes a lot less of a hand to bet on the river than it does to call with.

Seat 1: otto_k ($109.50 in chips)
Seat 4: SlappinYaUp ($99 in chips)
Seat 7: Lauen ($42.50 in chips)
Seat 9: weeluvsteff ($19.75 in chips)

ANTES/BLINDS
SlappinYaUp posts blind ($0.50), Lauen posts blind ($1).

SlappinYaUp gets [ QC,QH ]

PRE-FLOP
weeluvsteff folds, otto_k bets $3, SlappinYaUp calls $2.50, Lauen calls $2.

FLOP [board cards 2S,9C,3C ]
SlappinYaUp bets $6, Lauen folds, otto_k calls $6.

TURN [board cards 2S,9C,3C,7D ]
SlappinYaUp bets $10, otto_k calls $10.

RIVER [board cards 2S,9C,3C,7D,2H ]
SlappinYaUp checks, otto_k bets $5

SHOWDOWN
SlappinYaUp shows [ QC,QH ]
otto_k mucks cards [ 8D,9D ]
SlappinYaUp wins $59.

SUMMARY
Dealer: otto_k
Pot: $61, (including rake: $2)
otto_k, loses $29
SlappinYaUp, bets $29, collects $59, net $30
Lauen, loses $3
weeluvsteff, loses $0

Another situation that comes up is Ill be in the BB with a hand like K7 and flop top pair with it. Ill bet the pot (like 3 bucks) on the flop and get a couple callers. If I then check the turn one of them will bet another $3 with 2nd pair and get 2 callers. The river comes, it checks through and I suddenly have a $20 pot in front of me.

Also if you ever get into a headsup situation, your preflop raises are going to be called by so much junk its not even funny. They will then call you down with any piece of the board so it can be difficult to read them for hands. Its pointless to bluff too hard at these people - instead they will hand you $5o pots when you actually have it.

This is the reason I lost when I first moved up here from nl50. In nl50 you could bluff yourself to fortune cause they were afraid to call you down with less then the nuts. And when they played back at you, they had steel. It was that simple. It's simple now to, once you realize this.
