Default Retarded limit players

I don't understand how some people who are [censored] awful at this game think. It seriously boggles my mind at how bad and insane some people are. The kind of things I'v seen in the last few days at limit blow NL craziness out of the water times ten. here are a few things that particularly drive me wild

1. betting with absolutely no chance to ever win the pot. this happens usually in gigantic pots where theres like 4 people on the river, scare card comes, checked to the button who bets their Q high busted flush draw into a 20bb pot.

2. betting with no chance to win the pot heads up. this will happen when you cap the flop with some maniac when you hold a marginal hand, and then on the river when you check-call and they show like 4 high.

3. calling when they are ahead 99% of the time. say you raise AA preflop, flop is like J42, and they check call the whole way with 22? Yeah, thanks for saving me a million dollars, yet confusing me enough to put me on life tilt.

4. insanely stupid donk bets. i swear, you could cap 5 ways preflop, flop would come down AKT, and villain would check and call, then when a 7 hits the turn, he bets out with 87o

5. limp reraising UTG. i don't think i've ever seen this done with anything better than J3o

6. open limp reraising on the button. again, usually by J3o or worse

7. say you raise with AA, 1 guy calls, turn pairs the board and puts a flush out, you bet, they raise, 50% of the time this person has KK

I can't think of any more right now...

When I switched from limit to NL I felt the same way. Some people are just straight up retarded.

Oh yeah, how about insane misplaced agression by non superlags?

AA in the BB, its like 3 bet 18 ways before it gets to me, I cap. A bunch of crazy stuff happens on the flop and turn, which leads me to believe someone has a set or two pair, the river is an ace, i check raise, person 3bets, i cap and they call with KK

or how about the people who donk bet every street? this happened earlier

AQ, raise pf, SB calls. flop is AQx. SB donk bets every street, and I raise every street, SB calls river with QTo, one pair

My favourite is the cap preflop followed by the check-fold on a rag flop.

My favorite is when the SB open limps with 84o, you raise with AJ, flop is 567 and they check raise and you call, and then you guys check down blanks.

Play bad, get there, play bad nomination?

This is my favorite. What could they possibly be thinking when you raise them every time. Do they honestly think their 3rd or 4th pair is good?
