Default Craziest pot I have ever seen

I sit down to a 2-4 game and fold my first three hands. The same player won all three pots (and, I learned, the two before that as well). By this time, EVERYBODY at the table, even the descent players, were on tilt. This one player had increased his stack from about $90 to well over $300 in the three hands, and with EXTREMELY poor play, I might add. The third hand I watched had 6 people in preflop. Our lucky player had capped preflop with 77 and proceded to RAISE all the way to the river, where he finally caught his set. Needless to say, the rest of the peole at the table were very upset, and very on tilt. I say this as an opportunity to play only premium hands and get the benefit of many callers and unreasonable action.

The next hand I'm dealt us A [img]/forums/images/icons/club.gif[/img] Q [img]/forums/images/icons/club.gif[/img] in the BB. UTG open raises, MP call, MP call, LP lucky player reraises, SB folds, I call (knowing UTG will cap), UTG caps, we all call. There are 19 small bets in the pot (after the rake).

Flop come T [img]/forums/images/icons/heart.gif[/img] 7 [img]/forums/images/icons/diamond.gif[/img] 3 [img]/forums/images/icons/heart.gif[/img] . I bet, UTG call, MP call, MP call, LP lucky player raises, I call (having exactly zero respect for his raises), all call. Now 14.5 big bets in the pot.

Turn card K [img]/forums/images/icons/heart.gif[/img] . I check, almost sure that somebody has at least a K, and likely a flush as well. UTG bets, MP call, MP call, LP lucky player raises, I fold, all else call. (I have to admit, I expected a reraise.) Now 22.5 big bets in the pot.

River card is a rag. UTG checks, MP goes all in for $1, MP folds, LP lucky player folds, UTG folds!! MP bought a 22.5 BB pot for 1/4 bet on the river. She laughs histerically, and turns over a 9 high pure bluff. At this point, I have two thoughts run through my mind... 1) I can't believe nobody called getting over 90:1 pot odds, and 2) this may be the most profitable game I will ever sit it!

Looking back, I don't think I should have called the two bets on the turn, but I wonder if anyone would have. I just didn't see any reliable outs at that point, even with the size of the pot.

What do you guys think?
