Bottom set and hating every street...

The set-up: After two major chip-spewers leave our live table, the table breaks up (I seemed to be the only one who wanted to play shorthanded [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]). I'm moved to another table. This is my third hand there.

BB is another refugee from the previous table: decent but still a bit loose, he's suffered a series of brutal beats from the chip-spewers (and lost a huge pot to me when his K-high two-card flush met my A-high two-card flush). He's not a happy camper and seems to be a bit tilty. His PF raising range has been variable but (edit) his post-flop raising range is less loose.

SB was racking up about four racks of chips when we sat down. People at the table are telling him "I can't believe you played that," about a recent hand. He says nothing and keeps racking, playing every hand as he does so.

Live 4/8 limit hold'em (9 handed)

So...was the result an amazing, happy surprise for Hero? Was there a bet too many on the turn? Did BB tilt himself broke? What the living hell did SB have?
