this is neat

i go down to a/c for a few days and come back to find this forum, cool. i have a great hand for it too. 5-10nl game, there's a guy at the table with about a 10k stack, and he's been having fun by minraising every hand preflop. another big stack at the table has been playing along and min-re-raising, then 10k-stack would min-3rd-raise, etc. i thought it was a hoot, it also helped build big pots, so i played along a couple times too. then this hand came up:

i'm in the sb with aces, one ep limper, 10k-stack minraises to 20, i reraise to 40, ep calls 2 cold. 10k-stack obliges by reraising to 60, i reraise to 80, ep calls 2 more cold. 10k-stack reraises of course. at this point the whole table is cracking up. now i decide, ok, time to bomb it, and push a 500 stack of greens in. the ep guy trapped by all those raises and reraises moves in his whole stack of about 1k with ATo. hehehe, good times.

Hey mike,

That's funny. It takes balls to only min-raise for the 2nd time.

hey cero, i suppose being 98% certain he'd re-open the betting could be considered ballsy [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] a few hands earlier when he was doing the min-re-raising thing with another big stack, the dealer actually said, "that's a cap" after the 4th bet until we pointed out to her we weren't playing limit, after which they went another 2 or 3 min-bets before someone finally raised it 250 or so. in fact, the guy took forever to fold to ep's push, he only folded cuz i still had 2k behind and he was afraid (rightly) that i'd shove.

this is just one example of how good the games are--when are you coming back up to a/c to take those chumps' (and my) money? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
