this table is pretty sickening. stuff like this makes me want to quit poker. i have seen way too many suckouts lately, especially in this WSOP. it has convinced me that holdem has more to do with luck than skill because all these donkeys are now playing it.

I love how people want to quit poker because people play bad.

2+2 needs to publish a book titled: "How to play NLHE MTTs against Donkeys"

chapter 1: how to prevent the sucking-out by people who call off their whole stack with middle pair weak kicker

chapter 2: how to prevent the sucking-out by people who call off their whole stack with no odds to catch their flush

chapter 3: how to prevent the sucking-out by people who overvalue ace-rag

If you're talking about the A6 vs T9 hand earlier, while it's loose, it's by no means bad considering the bet out of the BB could be from someone trying to steal on a ragged flop, 965.

In the second one, the guy said he was trying a delayed bluff, and luckily picked up some outs on the turn. Not terrible, considering Raymer's aggressive.

Third one, I already explained the squeeze play concept.

Of course, none of these are automatic, and you get lucky when you're called, and great players picks their spots better, but these aren't terrible.
