The Worst Strategy You've Overheard at a Table

'I feel like gambling'
The donkey warcry....

playing at tampa hard rock, where the max buy in for any cash game is 100$ (gay)
anyway, playing 2/5
table is actually deep, mostly 400+
anyway tons of limpers and i raise to 50 w AA, an old guy with 100$ calls half his stack with 33
he flops a set and takes my money
afterwards, he said "see now, i called there preflop because i'm giving myself a chance to win a big pot. if i don't hit that 3, i can easily fold. i either win a huge pot, or lose a small one."

Glad this thread keeps getting bumped. Reminded me of something I heard last time I was at the table:

Guy: Did you know that 2 pair makes a full house more often than a set?
Me: Hahaha... yeah I guess it seems like that sometimes.
Guy: No seriously. It's easier to fill up with 2 pair than if you have a set.
Me: Um... well I don't think so. A set has 10 outs, and 2 pair has 4 outs.
Guy: That's what you'd think, I know. But really, if you work out the odds long enough, you'll see. Trust me, you want 2 pair.
Me: OK. You're probably right. No wonder I keep losing with sets.
Guy: See? I told you, man.

... and remind them that if they flop one pair that they're only two cards away from a full house ...

Some old lady got all her chips in PF with AJ vs AQ and after she busted said "It was 50/50, I can hit my J or he can hit his Q." I almost flipped the table over.

Last week 1/2 a 3 limpers and BB checks. Flop comes Jxx with 2 spades, checks around, turn comes 9 spades super-tight player who overbets every pot because he just grabs a handful of chips and throws them in tosses in $22 into an $10, another guy calls with K9, river is another 9 super-tight goes allin (overbet) K9 calls and loses to a 62 flush from the blind and moans about how the guy CALLED HIM with 62 for the rest of the night saying it was brutal and how unlucky he is.
