I'm studying for a final and playing 1 table .50/1 so I don't get too bored, when my table dries up. I start looking around for another game when I stumble across this one:
![]() This guy sat down with $20K chips and, almost without fail, capped on every street with every hand. I got into the table after 15 or so hands and managed to play another 15, winning one big pot (which, I think, is the only time he didn't cap on the river, the bastard), but damn was it amusing to watch. The people at the table started freaking out.. one guy kept saying "Is that in DOLLARS?!? US DOLLARS?!? I've never even SEEN that much money before!" Eventually everyone started catching on and were playing every round. Any time one of you high rollers wants to come make a big splash in a small pond, feel free.. it was definately worth a chuckle [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] P.S. The guy got lucky as hell, after 30 hands, he got up with $19997.25 and said "Enjoy my $2.75!" |

Now see, it would be more helpful if you would share this person's name so that I could put them on my buddy list [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Chances are, that wouldn't be a good idea. He's probably just steaming so he went to a small stakes game to blow off some steam. Many players do this. If he's sitting down at the .50/1 with $20,000, he didn't deposit to play .50/1. I've goofed around on Pokerstars before and sat with a few grand at the penny limit tables. |

It took everyone an amazingly long time to figure out what he was doing, and initially everyone was folding to his preflop raises. Risking 1 big bet preflop against a random hand to make a gauranteed 10 big bets if you hit the flop in any significant way is pretty hard to pass up, though I got pretty crappy cards. Once people started capping preflop 3-4 ways, I pretty much went back to normal, since in addition to beating the maniac's random hand I also had to beat their probably slightly more legitimate hands. |

I had this happen once at the pokerroom .25/50c tables.
Two guys at the table each with well over $20K. They made sure every single street was capped regardless of their cards. I sat for less than an orbit. In that orbit I played AA and AJo. My aces were cracked by a rivered straight(river was an ace!), and AJo made aces up on the turned jack but got taken down by something(don't remember). The two guys won both of those pots. Not only were they capping every street, but they were berating everyone along with it. |

You can't loosen up here unless you actually get to threebet the maniac preflop and other people are folding. Otherwise, it simply costs too much money to see the flop without a premium holding.

I do this alot.
After a long session or a big win, ill sit down in a 50/1 game with my roll and cover my cards with my hand and raise all streets to river, then look and see what i have. Its fun, and blows off some steam. Usually gets everybody at the table furious. After getting beats put on you for hours, its fun to be the one to make runner runner straight iwth 53o, on a AKQ flop. Tuco. |

I do this at .01/.02 and still lose to fish with even worse hands.
