Two 52o hands - one worked, the other should have.

[milesdyson]

First hand is routine.

Second hand the guy must have had an amazing read on me or something to call me down with a queen.

it's routine to raise 52o from the SB after 2 limpers? crazy.

I agree with sin808. At these levels you don't see very many people folding any decent holding to a steal, so I just raise for value from the SB. Essentially any two cards over 8.

You're putting alot of money in the pot and leaving all the important desicions up to him. Everytime you make this raise you're commiting yourself to putting 3BB's into the pot, doesn't really seem worthwhile to pick up that SB.

I'm not really stealing. It's somewhat of a joke that got started here a while ago and I'm taking part in it - for fun and to get to show down a terrible hand sometimes. If I win without a showdown, I show the 52o to taunt the other players. I don't really think this does anything, but the -.5BB/hand I'm losing to play it is worth the great enjoyment I get out of taking a pot down with it every now and then.
