This is why I love small stakes limit

[Proofrock]

I don't play a lot of limit hold'em, because I'm a bad poker player and can't stop shoveling money into the pot when i'm far, far behind. My two favorite examples -- they make me laugh ... now. Both hands occured against the same Villain, in the same orbit.
