Total pot: (36.90 BB)

Results:
Main Pot: $735 | Rake: $3

Seat 1: [ Jc Ks Kd 7s 7c Kh 4d ] [ a full house, Kings full of sevens -- Ks,Kd,Kh,7s,7c ]

Seat 3: [ Ad As 7d 8c 6d 2d Th ] [ LO: 8,7,6,2,A | HI: a pair of aces -- Ad,As,Th,8c,7d ]

Seat 4: [ Jh 9c 9h 9s 2h 8d 2c ] [ a full house, Nines full of twos -- 9c,9h,9s,2h,2c ]

Enjoy!

Wasnt so profitable for seat 4. And wont be so profitable for seat 1 if he keeps that kind of behavior up. To judge by the stack sizes, it looks like that game is mostly profitable for Party.

That is the point, of course.

And the Average Pot size was $225 at the time (in a $10/20 game). While obviously Party is the big winner, plenty of people walked away with cash.

it's an illustration of why internet poker is so profitable: weak players don't fold when they are likely beaten, 8/b magnifies this weakness w/jamming and punishes poor starting hands more than most games.
