I intentionally skip around finding passive yet willing to call tables and specifically those with a few shorter stacks. Villain 75/14 over 28 hands. Shown some donkish moves. I'm pretty sure this is the only pot he showed any aggression on. What horrid timing.

Even better, these guys often rebuy for some ridiculously small amount.
I played against one guy who would bring $5 and when he got up to $15 (if he did) "bank it" by leaving/returning. Busted his tiny stack a few times and it's nice when the short stacks go all in into your monster and you can sometimes just smooth call and others behind call as well.

These are guys playing the 2+2 system that they read in the new book put out by this publishing company. If you understand it, then you can just get out of there way when they go all in, unless of course you have a made hand.

There is a small buy-in system that I don't have the time to explain right now, perhaps someone else can, but the title of the book is called, "Getting Started in Hold 'em".

and you seriously think that guy is following that book? The comments he made simply sounded like scared money.

As i was pushing some hapless folks around in a pot he was cackling "WHERES YOUR MONEY YOU DUMBA**ES NOT IN THE BANK"

I doubt it...the guy was EXTREMELY annoying and if he thought for a second about my play, he'd think i was 2+2
