Why you'll never learn to fold from playing low levels
People just can't help themselves, I've called down three streets with K high and made all sorts of hero calls profitably. EZ game? Or am I missing something

Yeah, I've been playing rush quite a bit at microstake and there are people calling down with king high and I'm taking their cash. Guess they saw it work once and have picked up the trick.
AK seems to be the nuts in some people's minds no matter what the board looks like and King high is a close second.
Did you have a read on this guy or was it the check on the turn/overbet river that did it?
