This hand isn't really anything special or unusual.

Hey that hand looks like a replay of my entire day. I'm smalltalkdan and the other lucky [censored] is whoever I went to showdown with.

[Malone Brown]

hey all,
I'm Camen in this hand. To defend slim, smalltalkdan had been having a brutal day, lost like 15K and was on tilt huge. He was making alot of wild plays and Slim said later he put him on 2 over cards, which would not be unreasonable for how dan was playing. I probably would have made the same call if I were in slim's position. But then again, slim is probably the wildest $25/50 NL player on UB and makes calls like that on a regular basis.

Hey Grifter. I actually thought someone might say that. What Camen said lends some more credence to the play, but it still seems pretty damn shaky to me. I take it you've made all-in calls w/small pairs in similar situations?

[Jon Matthews]

Forgetting the money and just thinking in terms of chips, I'm sure everyone here has called a huge raise with an underpair putting the raisor on overcards. He only called the turn cause it was so few chips to see the showdown, although i'm sure he wasn't expecting to win seeing the King!
