Horrible fish.

HyperR_NL: folds
FR Vessant: raises 600 to 800

So I make an isoraise.

jesse6520: folds
Metzy 100: calls 600

Another unbelievable fish.

aironevolant: raises 2490 to 3290 and is all-in

I just don't believe he's limpreraising a big hand. I'm thinking it's probably a small pair, and I have the overlay to take it on.

FR Vessant: raises 7640 to 10930 and is all-in
Metzy 100: folds
Uncalled bet (7640) returned to FR Vessant

He has 22. Fuck that.

Give me a 5, Q or A.


Three hands later.

Hoping to get Hyper to fold and isolate the other guy.

You simply will not believe what he limpcalled with.

Not afraid of the ace. The fish would have raised if he had one.

aironevolant: calls 3819 and is all-in

He snapcalls with Td4d.

I don't ask how come a fish can call with Td4d in the first place, or how he can call a raise with it. I ask why he must fucking hit the flop. Could he not just have missed?

OMG.

Oh well. Still alive, right?

Wrong.

Unreal. That's some of the worst poker you'll ever see and in each case I was on the receiving end of it. Yet again. It sucks though. I don't normally play $33 buyins, I'm so risk averse. And I was absolutely cruising, playing well, with an above-average stack when bang! Sigh.
