Villain is a 60 VPIP fish.

Have to raise his blind with this holding. It's for value rather than stealing because he'll often call.

DaddyBear84: calls 100
*** FLOP *** [Ah 3h 4h]

Good and bad flop, obv.

FR Vessant: bets 200
DaddyBear84: raises 200 to 400

The minraise is kind of ominous but he's liable to do this with an ace, particularly if he also has a heart.

FR Vessant: raises 825 to 1225 and is all-in
DaddyBear84: calls 525 and is all-in

He has Jh7h. Nice flop for him. And I guess that's why these horrible fish call with their trashy suited hands. They get paid off once in a blue moon. And these days, it's me paying them off every fucking time. What can you do though? Not only did he flop the flush but it came A high, which encouraged me to stack off. He was just aggro enough for me not to fold the flop, but I probably should have done. These fish don't raise too often. When you see someone who's playing 60/5 and he's quite aggro, he's getting the aggression by betting, not by raising.

There's worse though. Next tourney some complete retard calls my ATC push with J8. I had QT but he sucked out. His excuse was that I pushed on his blind the last time. Yeah, I said, but that doesn't actually make J8 a good hand.

Then another guy calls for all his chips with Q9s. Again I had a better hand, and again he sucked out. This time, he claims he needed to chip up and had a "better than average" hand. You have to remind yourself sometimes that you actually want these people to be retarded.


Same tourney. Sigh:
