(NC) "Why yes, I do think my 8's are probably good..."

I know this probably happens all the time, but it's the first one I've personally seen. This was the first hand of a Party $10+1:

Hero (t800)
MP2 (t800)

SB (t800)

Yes, it happens all the time and with much worse hands.

I pushed AA first hand once with a bunch of limpers infront. Got called by Q8s or some junk like that and I was, of course, out first hand.

How many people made "rigged" comments after that hand?

guy from a rebuy forgot to change gears, eh

None, actually. I usually have chat turned off, but I turned it back on just to see what chatter there was. It was pretty benign, other than "must be crazy to call with 8's."

I almost felt bad for the guy - he just let himself get sucked along, calling every single raise he saw, and after the other three were all-in he thought for a good 15 seconds before calling that one too.
