In my story there's only one clearly bad decision, which is the check behind on the river. If the guy in your story was not last to act then conceivably his play could be justified.

Here's one I had a few days ago.
Party $25 NL
I had $24 in my stack and get QQ on the button. 4 callers and I make a small to medium raise. MP with same size stack as me calls, 2 players fold and short stack LP goes all in for $11 or so. I call, MP calls. Flop comes [img]/forums/images/icons/heart.gif[/img] T [img]/forums/images/icons/spade.gif[/img] 6 [img]/forums/images/icons/diamond.gif[/img] 7. MP checks, I go all in, MP calls. Turn and river is [img]/forums/images/icons/spade.gif[/img] 3 [img]/forums/images/icons/diamond.gif[/img] A. I see the A and figure I'm probably beat but take the pot when MP shows [img]/forums/images/icons/diamond.gif[/img] K [img]/forums/images/icons/club.gif[/img] J and LP shows KTo.

Calling my all in with KJo after that flop??? I just don't get it.

I think Skalansky wrote about the 65s play in a card player article in the last few months.

$20+$2 NLHE Heads up on Stars

Really early on both players have around T1500...

My buddy's opponent seems pretty crazy... raising 20 BB's etc.

My buddy picks up QQ on the button, and he is wondering how to trap the guy... I tell him to go all-in. For like 150BB... He tries it...

The opponent thinks and types in the chat window, "what do you have 22?"

My buddy ignores him... and finally the guy makes the call... with 75s...

I never laughed so hard in my life.

Personally I think Dynasty's is the best one so far...

Just My Thoughts,

Mike Caro says he has always called when somebody has shown 4 of a kind against him.
