Is this a typical call on Party Poker ?

[jacki]

Is this normal? $25 NL HE on Party.

Hero (23.25 stack) posts small blind (0.25) with 4 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif, Q /images/graemlins/diamond.gif ]
Two LP callers, Hero completes, BB checks
(Secondary question: Should I even bother with crap like this in the SB?)

** Dealing Flop ** : [ Q /images/graemlins/spade.gif, 4 /images/graemlins/spade.gif, 5 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif ]
Hero bets $2
BB folds.
LP1 (95.40 stack) raises to $4
LP2 (19 stack) calls
HERO raises allin to 22.75
LP1 calls
LP2 folds.

** Dealing Turn ** : K /images/graemlins/club.gif
** Dealing River ** : 7 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif

LP1 turned over Q /images/graemlins/club.gif T /images/graemlins/spade.gif

Is that a typical play here? I've found it to be pretty loose here in my first 3 or 4 sessions on Party poker, but this seemed exceptionally bad.

"Normal" doesn't exist on PP.

But yes, it's common on PP to cling to TP until the end. Play is markedly worse on the weekends.

I don't play much NL, but how can it ever be wrong to call in the SB for .25 cents with almost any hand when the implied odds are enormous? Indeed, you have a chance to win at least 100:1 on this call if the flop hits right and you get someone to go all-in with a much worse hand.
