How normal is this??? Too much TV?

Reminds me of when hellmuths book came out. Everyone was jamming the hell out of any mid or weaker pair they had. Maybe it's related to that in some way.

that's horrible. i saw a girl call at a home game with 32o with 5 overcards on the board. i was in complete disbelief and she says to the guy who won "i thought you were bluffing"

there's some real solid players out there

I played Party 3/6 for the first time this weekend (I have mostly played no limit or 1/2 before), and I was definitely surprised by how often people were trying to bluff me. I'm not the most experienced player, so I thought perhaps there was some deeper strategy going on that I can't comprehend yet. But, uh, that doesn't seem to be the case...

After folding the best hand a few times, I decided to just keep calling down until the player convinced me that at least once in a while he has something. Some of the biggest pots I won were against 2 people where I took the pot with A high or bottom pair -- once I think I had king high.

I had a full house, aces and sevens (with AA7 flop, 7 turn, 4 river), I thought for sure we were going to split the pot or he had 4 7s with all the action, but no -- he had pocket jacks.

It was a little spooky. I played with at least 4 players like this in the last 2 days. I beat them with nothing. They beat my AA with 43o (after cold calling 3 bets). Certainly keeps the game interesting.

I thought maybe this time I was beat, so I just called the river raise. Maybe that's the deeper strategy? Keep me off balance so I don't re-raise river bluff raises?
