Lol, case and point. This was posted to the poker alias at work. Just for background, I work at a Software development company known for bright people. A couple players on this alias finished in the money in the last WSOP.

Yet, he still plays half dead 9s with a shitty kicker and pretty much check/calls until he hits his 1 outer.

Seat 1: Our_Hero ($728.50 in chips)
Seat 2: tyrone ($316 in chips)
Seat 3: Flippin Aces ($290 in chips)
Seat 4: Romanichine ($311 in chips)
Seat 5: foxplayer ($45 in chips)
Seat 6: kherd ($282 in chips)
Seat 7: dockseven ($81.50 in chips)
Seat 8: orcslayer ($157 in chips)

Everyone antes 0.50.

// With kherd’s str8 cards pretty dead, his most probable hand is a set. While it could be JJJ, it’s much more likely to be slow-played 666 or 888. ( It is likely he would have put a raise in with pocket JJ earlier in the hand. )
