joeriver--Luckiest man on Earth?

[LondonBroil]

I was bored last night so I decided to watch a little 20-40 at Paradise. When I opened up the table there was joeriver going all-in on a hand. I don't know how much he started with but he ended up winning his all-in hand and had around $640.

From the next hand on, this guy saw at least 75-80% of the flops, even if there was a raise in front of him. At showdowns, his hands hardly qualified as good starting hands. I saw him limp in with 57s, 10Jo (UTG), 22 EP after a raiser, and various other trash hands. The wierd thing is that he ALWAYS seemed to pull his cards. I saw him pull the nut straight time and time again with his 57, 64, 23, etc.

After about 30 minutes he had gone from ~$600 to over $3300 and was putting a few people at the table on tilt.

Just thought I'd warn you to NOT PLAY WITH THIS GUY! He very well may be the luckiest man on earth. /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

Watch out for em_nga at UB.
He's a friend from Belgium. I told him to give UB a try. I openened an account for him. I maled UB and asked them to transfer $50 to his account so he could get started. He's one of the weakest players I have ever met. He has 0 experience when it comes to limit poker. He plays at my homegame every Friday and he's a consistent loser. I like the guy, but still, he's a loser.
He got $50 and started playing sit & go for $5. He won a few. Moved up to the $10 sit&go"s and won again. Now he had more then $100. He played a $20 multitable tournament. Limit hold'em. He has never played the game before. He does not even know what pot odds mean. He won the tournament and got $600 !!! Can't believe it. Then he played a NL tournament about 120 players and got 3rd. Won $300 something. Isn't this guy lukcy or what? He starts playing big games and big tournaments and loses a few hundreds. This week-end he tried the $5-$10 limit hold'em and won $500. He had more then $1000 now!! I couldn't believe it. I asked him to mail UB to withdraw the money. He did. Because we both know he's a gambler and he'll lose it all. So yesterday he mailed UB. And he asked them to put $500 on my account so I could witdraw a bigger amount. (cheaper for us, only one cheque to cash out) But by the time that UB could transfer the money he had lost it all...
He lost $1000 in one or two hours...
No need to say he hardly slept last night.

Thanks..your story actually makes me feel better about how terribly I've been doing lately.

Sounds like a great opponent. Isn't joeriver's recent run the reason why you keep a bankroll adequate for the level you are playing, because the money follows the +EV plays in the long run?
