    Default Good call here?

    This person had been going all-in every hand from the time they joined the table which was about 5 or 6 hands ago. I had already lets go of 77 a couple of hands ago to their all-in raise. Keep in mind they had been showing hands such as k4s and 730 and everything in between.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    MP1 ($6.44)
    Hero ($1.89)
    CO ($5)
    Button ($1.95)
    SB ($5.06)
    BB ($6.03)
    UTG ($4.34)
    UTG+1 ($3.88)

    Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 3, 3.
    1 fold, UTG+1 calls $0.02, MP1 calls $0.02, Hero calls $0.02, CO raises to $5, 3 folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, Hero calls $1.87 (All-In).

    Flop: ($6.96) T, 3, 3 (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Turn: ($6.96) A (2 players, 1 all-in)

    River: ($6.96) 9 (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Final Pot: $6.96

    Results in white below:
    Hero has 3d 3h (four of a kind, threes).
    CO has Qc 2c (one pair, threes).
    Outcome: Hero wins $3.85. CO wins $3.11.

    Deposit $200 and go play $10NL, or else you'll be seeing players like this a lot more than you should. And, yes, good call. You have to take a stand against idiots, and any pair is often enough. Too bad you didn't have more behind. Always play full-stacked.

    Edit: On second thought, fold and wait for a better spot. 33 is so easily beat. But I like the "FU" aspect very much.

    Great results, but I wouldn't call it a good call. With a low pair, you are almost always facing 2 overcards resulting in a coinflip scenario. While you were a slight favorite, I would not risk the rest of my stack on it. When you come up against people like this, make sure you keep your stack reloaded (even if it's just the blinds, reload) and wait for a monster. Once you get it you'll be able to take his entire stack with little risk to yourself. If you get impatient waiting for a monster just leave the table and find one you're mor comfortable playing, however if you have the patience stay and bust him.

    I understand I could've waited for a better spot to make a stand but more often than not these players play five hands at a table and call it quits. I felt I could double up here and that he would'nt be around long enough for me to get a better chance. Thats why i called.

    O and btw this guy DID stay around for maybe 30 hands which amazed me. He lost like 4-5 buy-ins in half an hour. You should have heard the table talk the second he left, it went something like this:

    nooooooooo

    NOOO

    DAMN IT

    noooooooo
