Playing $10-$20 at the Taj. Great pillowy soft game with 3 or 4 calling stations. One guy in particular is limping with 90% of his hands and calling down 100% with any pair. We will call him LTR (Limp To the River). Another player is EL (Entitled Local).
What I saw:
Folded around to EL who raises on the button. LTR calls from his BB.
Flop is J64 rainbow - Check, bet, call.
Turn is another 4 - Check, bet, call.
River is Q - Check, bet, call.
LP shows 9Ts for a rivered straight draw, LTR shows A6 and takes down the pot.
What I heard 40 minutes later, EP to another local
EP said (regarding the hand mentioned above), "Yeah, can you believe this guy(referring to LTR). I had AK and he called me down the whole way with A2 and he caught his 2 on the river. How can you play against these guys?"
