And since when do we care about table image at Party 2/4?

The "WTF?" from someone at the table demonstrates perfectly that table image is important in any game.

Of course, how you adjust your play based on it is very game-specific and varies quite a bit at different levels; you'd make a lot more image-building plays in a 100-200 game than a 2/4 game, for instance (not that I've ever played 100-200). But it's important here nonetheless.

Not all WTFs are equal. A WTFer who calls a raise OOP with 96o is probably thinking WTF several times a hand, devaluing any WTF you may get. This particular WTF you'd probably just as soon leave in the penny tray at the corner liquor store so it doesn't clutter your pockets.

I usually open this on the button, as well as Q5s+ and J7s+

This is a totally standard blind-stealing hand for me, as are any two cards above 9, pretty much every A, every pair, and everything I think might have some kind of decent advantage against two random hands.

Nice hand. It's great when stuff works out like this.

Nicely done.

I guess sometimes perception is NOT reality...

If the blinds are anything but loose, this hand is completely standard. With no reads, I'm playing it the same way anyway because it's fun and a good way to put some players on tilt.

I love guys like this. He calls 1.5 bets out of position with 69o, and then gets mad because you weren't raising with a "real" hand? Would he has been happier if you beat him with AA instead?

That was the best part of the hand. After the 'WTF?' I replied with 'flush beats a pair'. He then let into me with the idiot remarks, raising with garbage, yada yada.

I don't understand why he says WTF after calling you down with 69 with 3 overcards on the board. WTF did he expect.
