Okay, you guys an laugh but this happens much more than most people realize. Yesterday, Playing $2-4-4-8 at Ceasar's IN this young guy wearing sunglasses, waits until it is his turn, looks around, considers the action that has occurred, carefully looks at his hole cards (one at a time of course), looks back up considers what to do, then calls the two dollars. He plays almost every hand, at least 90% VPIP but goes through the exact rictual each and every hand.

After his fourth or fifth buy in he mentions that he is down $500 and then goes and rebuys again. We all assure him that the swings in holdem are extreme and you can't do anything when you aren't catching cards.

during the last buyin, he removes his sunglasses and folds a few hands on the turn. His chip stack grows a little (mainly after showing me a runner runner flush when we were heads up on the flop) but then the sunglasses are back on and he is busto again.

He seems like a really nice guy and I never get angry about his TV antics because it really entertaining to watch and he is not bad for the game. I like to play cards with him at the table. I have no idea what his real name is but I have nicknamed him Mike TV.
