Sat down at a $.10/$.25 pot-limit table last night. Lost a buy-in when I ran a set of 6s into some guy's two-pair, and saw him turn a boat. So this table breaks up and I buy back in at another table.
Oh my God. There's a guy at this table that, if he didn't play EVERY hand, he played well over 90% of them. And he would call just about anything down to the river - sometimes just overcards, sometimes bottom pair, he'd even call with a busted draw.
I turned my $20 buy-in into $85 at one point, mostly thanks to him, then went completely card dead and ended up at about $65. And it could've been better. I was just waiting for any hand to sting this guy with. I see a free flop from the big blind with A5 and the flop is A52. Bingo. I bet it, the clown raises me, and we get it all in (I have him covered). He flips over A9. The turn is a 4, the river is a 3 and we chop the damn pot. Grrrrrr.
I won tons of moderate pots off of him with hands like 33 that completely missed a flop - but would outpace his crap like 9 4 offsuit when he never hit a 9 or a 4. If you had *anything*, it was worth just calling him down. If you had the goods, you just shove your chips in and he'll call you. Incredible.
Usually at these tables, the average pot is about $3-4 per hand. The average pot at this table was over $11.
Usually at these tables, if they're not full, there's maybe one person waiting to get in. At this table, there were as many as six people waiting to get in.
So finally this guy leaves. Immediately, the entire table collapses. Everyone stuck around just to take his money.
He's a welcome addition to my "friends" list.
