The moron actually requested that I post this hand here in BBV

Limidonk here learning some no limit. I have been told that limit players take beats and go play no limit, while no limit players take beats and go play Russian Roulette. Anybody have a six shooter I can borrow? I overbet this figuring he would call. I guess I should be careful what I wish for.

The dolt actually requested in chat that I post this hand here in BBV, so I will oblige. Calling a huge overbet shove with middle pair no kicker? Proof positive that just reading 2+2 does not make one a good poker player.
