An Amusing Hand

Monteroy

One of my current 3/6 Bad Beat Jackpot tables features two players who see 90% of flops and are both very aggressive.  It has made for some amusing hands and for my strangest statistical sessions so far as I have a VPIP of 0% (played 2 unraised BB hands in 60 total hands, won 1).  I have yet to preflop raise, no point without hands with 2 maniacs after me.  I have not had even a semi premium hand (had 33 once but was 3 bet before it got to me and maniacs preflop).  It will be interesting to see how it plays out once I get some starting hands, I imagine the potential variance is healthy :P

Anyways one of the hands that made me chuckle more then others was the following (though there have been plenty more).

If anyone needs some Party points for the VIP promotion I suggest joining this table as pretty much every hand is raked

I'm no pro by any means but I think, just think, you may be in the right game.

Monteroy

Heh, its slowly working out. I won a few pots after that AA hand though not big ones. Safe to say I am not bluffing at all at this table

The player LaDarkman has rebout twice (down about $300). The other horrid player is actually up about $100 so far.

ScoobyD

This is the ONLY part I hate:

Monteroy: sigh
Monteroy: finally get AA to play against you two
Monteroy: oh well

These two lags will start bluff raising bottom pair when scare cards hit against you if they know you're folding aces. Unless that's your plan of course...

Tables with 2 maniacs can be a pain though (but highly profitable). I think usually my worry is that someone else will clean them out before I get the chance, but you've still got to be patient. Nice table...

Monteroy

Actually I did use that statement to win the couple of medium pots within a few hands after against them when they folded to my post flop bets (after I raised preflop and missed).  After all, I only play premium hands  .  I also thought it would encourage lots of raising by them when they had soso hands to my good hands when I do hit flops.

After that its just a matter of waiting.

ironically he folded preflop next hand which begs the question as to what will not make the cut preflop

ScoobyD

That hand just put me on tilt. He bluff raises the ragged end of a gutshot draw vs 2 opponents that have show strength with one card to come, and catches it. And then the moron actually tries to C/R that ugly ass board? Or was he worried his hand was no good to the higher straight? Donkey! Tough beat.
