It is just so easy to beat.Check out this hand where I flop the nuts, play it completely straight-forward and get paid off.***** Hand History for Game 2590474449 *****$100 NL Texas Hold'em - Wednesday, August 24, 16:33:10 EDT 2005Table Table 55002 (6 max) (No DP) (Real Money)Seat 2 is the buttonTotal number of players : 6 Seat 1: snewton35 ( $181.60 )Seat 3: sambaliten ( $145.11 )Seat 4: boston82 ( $162.15 )Seat 2: CaneBrain888 ( $104 )Seat 6: Jepi_A ( $100 )Seat 5: mogatroid ( $38.76 )sambaliten posts small blind [$0.50].boston82 posts big blind [$1].** Dealing down cards **Dealt to CaneBrain888 [ 5d Ad ]mogatroid folds.snewton35 folds.CaneBrain888 raises [$3].sambaliten calls [$2.50].boston82 calls [$2].** Dealing Flop ** [ 4d, 6d, 9d ]sambaliten checks.boston82 checks.CaneBrain888 bets [$6].sambaliten calls [$6].boston82 calls [$6].** Dealing Turn ** [ Kh ]sambaliten checks.boston82 checks.CaneBrain888 bets [$15].sambaliten folds.boston82 calls [$15].** Dealing River ** [ 7d ]boston82 bets [$50].CaneBrain888 is all-In [$80]boston82 calls [$30].boston82 shows [ Qd, 4c ] a flush, queen high.CaneBrain888 shows [ 5d, Ad ] a flush, ace high.CaneBrain888 wins $215 from the main pot with a flush, ace high with ace kicker.TYWith this donkishness going on I cant see how it would be better to play limit. I agree that limit is harder....but that seems like a bad reason to play it. Link to post Share on other sites

At some point, because of variance I will be singing a different tune.God, it just seems like these guys are SOOO bad though, you know?I mean they are making moves a person with a brain couldnt possibly rationalize.just had a hand....I have 250 in chips and am in the BB, other guy in SB has about 80 bucks in chips.I have K10... folds around to him...he raises to 4 I call.Flop comes KK7. He bets pot I call. turn is a 3. He bets pot I call. River is a jack...he bets pot....I am worried he keeps firing but I reluctantly figure I must call.He has AJ. I bust him. How could he keep betting.I dont know I guess i am just babbling and I am sure things will change for the worse soon. But this is fun so far. Link to post Share on other sites

CaneBrain 97 Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 ok DNA that was pretty bad....guess I will have to keep in mind that idiots like that are bound to find a nut once in a while.....I will try to stay humble.....It is hard right now though I am at a 6 max table with one solid player and 4 total donkeys....one in particular is a complete ATM....up to 475 from 100 in about 40 minutes.
