Dream Table

So I sat down at a table and quickly realized I was going to make a nice profit there. First, there was the guy to my right who appeared to be calling down pots with 3rd pair. There was also someone who appeared to be raising every pot with any two cards - min raises, but he called both 3-bets I saw while I was waiting for the BB. To top it off, there was a full table of people who didn't appear to be taking advantage of the situation.

I sat down, and within about 80 hands I had doubled the max buy-in I came in with. The best part? The guy calling down pots with bottom pair keeps rebuying. I'm actually still at the table right now on PokerStars.

Anyone else ever sit down at a table and immediately think, "Yeah, I'll be making bank here"? Ever get a fantastic read on a guy who just shipped you his chips every other hand? Share your stories!

I've been at these tables and made a ton of money.

I've also been at these tables, been absolutely card dead, and lost money or made nothing.

I offered a guy, who was playing badly, coaching for 100 USD/h. He tilted even more and I took 7 buy ins from him in 30 minutes. (I played NL 50 at that time). Sadly he went broke...

Hahaha thanks Carroters you've just made my night

Personally I like it when someone on my table has decided that for fun tonight they will push every hand until they bust. Even better when, like last night, they doubled up off someone else at the table before giving it all to me next hand when they pushed 84o into my JJ

Am I the only one who follows bad players around from table to table? I sort of feel weird/bad doing it, but at the same time...I want their money and they don't seem to mind parting with it >_>

lol, same here. I've done it. I actually have started a list of bad players, and I will search for them before I join up at some tables sometimes. I will join them at different stakes too, just to take their money!
