What makes people make plays this bad? (HH format)

[RollaJ]

I understand taking a shot at a pot, but when I 3bet he has an easy fold, and it gets easier when I 5 bet, but he still CALLS $260 more???? WTF?

You shouldn't post this with names.

LOL. I assume Giftgiver is the nickname the OP gave to the guy who donated his money. If that's his actual screen name then it's even funnier . . .

Whoops, I was mistaken. I just assumed it was real names (other than Hero), because I recognized the other names, and also assumed someone this bad wouldn't be a regular that I noticed his name. There are funny names like that (Thedonator), but he is goot from my limited experience with him.

Maybe he thought you were bluffing? Questioning his play is really stupid.

[The Antagonizer]

Pokerroom labels their games wrong, their $5-10nl is called $10-20 in the hand history and $10-10 in the lobby (idiots).

I recognise some of the players here, really it's best not to include player names IMO. For one thing, some here might be able to figure out who the original poster was from this, which he/she may not want.

(BTW I am not at this table for those unlikely people wondering).

[boondockst]

Your initial bet looked like a value bet (he learned this term on WPT)

He raised because he had a pair of kings with top kicker (a strong hand according to WPT)

Your reraise looked like a steal, so he reraised.

At this point he had pot odds to call with ace-high.
