5 card draw: here fishy fishy fishy

m_dolens

ok, i just had to add this HH because i felt that i should share with the forum. for any of you who play 5 card draw (or even remotely understand the game), you can really take advantage of some of the players out there on pokerstars. i rarely play (i used to play a decent amount like over a decade ago), but i just recently got back in to playing it. tried some of the SNGs on pokerstars and i am amazed at how many people out there play them and have no idea what they're doing (i am referring to the lower levels, however i will be slowing moving up soon if i continue to destroy these).
for example, see HH below:

possibly the dumbest play i've ever seen. granted he could have misclicked while attempting to draw (even though that requires two separate clicks), but from watching this guy play up until this point i seriously doubt it.

Why did you fold a draw to 75?

edit: lol, I just figured it was lowball

seriously, play like this is very common from what i am seeing in the lower limits. an unbelievable amount of fish out there in 5 card draw.

You should move up to 5 card stud, the worst game on the internet.
