Re: Is there anything more ridonkulous than the mid-limits in AC?
[ QUOTE ]
I mean, really. If you can withstand the variance, the games are incredible. In my last two sessions alone, I have seen: a. A player call two bets preflop, two bets on the flop, a bet on turn to snag a 3rd six with Q6o b. A player withstand 3 bets on the flop, 2 bets on the turn to hit the straight with QTo on a board of J65AK c. A player play 3-6o in a pot raised preflop, hit a six on flop and then withstand a raise on flop to his a 3 on the turn. d. A player who raises with every hand, literally for 1 hour straight. e. A flop taken 10 handed. All hands were at 20/40 [/ QUOTE ] Try 10/20, a guy defended his big blind with a 3-4o heads up to my button steal with a K-8s, and proceeded to call me all the way down to my river bet when he hit a four on the flop. This past weekend I got my pocket rockets UTG cold called by the player immediately to my left who held an 8-4 because it was suited. It went heads up to the flop where he caught 4. He called me all the way down to the river where he caught another, 4, and raised my river bet. I look at it this way: When I return next weekend, there will be equally bad players, who will help me pay off my mortgage on my boardwalk condo, which I won the down payment for in the 10/20 and 20/40 games in Atlantic City.

The 1/2NL and 2/5NL games at foxwoods are worse than anything ive ever seen in my life. People will call raises and chase to any bet with 72s and 83s. Play solid poker and you should easily be taking money from these people tho

Exactly, the guy with the 43 made a marginally poor preflop call and played his hand great postflop. If this is an example of how fishy the play is, I'd find a better game.

Personally, I don't defend my big blind with a 3-4, even if its suited, that hand is so dominated. You gotta hit the board at least once, and hope that the button raiser in position doesn't hit at all. If I'm the blind, I say "let's play the next hand, take my ten bucks."
