What is wrong with this guy??? Amusing...

Maybe this belongs on the psychology board...

We've all seen the psycho aggressive players, particularly on the micro games like this one. But what do you think was going through BB's head? All I can figure is one too many valium before he sat down to play...

Paradise Poker 0.05/0.10 Hold'em (8 handed)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 calls, CO calls, Button calls, Hero folds, BB checks.

Flop: (4.40 SB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (4 players)
BB checks, MP2 checks, CO checks, Button checks.

Turn: (2.20 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (4 players)
BB checks, MP2 checks, CO checks, Button checks.

River: (2.20 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (4 players)
BB checks, MP2 checks, CO checks, Button checks.

Final Pot: 2.20 BB
Main Pot: 2.20 BB, between Button, BB, MP2 and CO. > Pot won by BB (2.20 BB).

Results in white below: 
BB shows Ac As (two pair, aces and kings).
MP2 shows Jd 8d (one pair, kings).
CO shows Js 6c (two pair, kings and sixes).
Button shows Tc 9d (two pair, kings and tens).
Outcome: BB wins 2.20 BB.

Preflop: Wow! Great hand! I certainly don't want to scare everyone out... I'll just check for now.

Flop: Yeah, that probably hit someone... I'll just slowplay, let someone else bet, and then pop them on the turn!

Turn: Ok, guess it didn't hit anyone, I suppose I'll bet... wait! another King! what if someone was slowplaying top pair now they have three of a kind oh man I better just check

River: Hm... still no bet... maybe no one had a king after all... well, if I bet, they'll just call or fold and then I'll only win a tiny pot so I know I'll CHECKRAISE... yeah!

I am amazed at how passive they are.

Its 10 cents...

And how bad did the rest of their hands have to be if NO ONE bet on any street? Crazy.

Many beginners, on the river with a powerful hand, think as follows:

"If I bet, they'll fold, so I'll check"

to which I say:

"You're a dumbass".
