I editted out the guy in question to be nice, but I don't understand this...he raised preflop to 4,000, and the guy in the small blind (800) raises to a total of $4,344. The initial raiser, the big stack at the final table, folds. It would have only cost him $344 more to call this, and up to this point he had been playing pretty decent poker. I just don't get it. :what:

it's either collusion or stupidity

I'm glad someone else said it before I did. I mean, it's not like I was involved in the hand, but at that point, moving up a spot in the payout list was important. It just got under my skin so I wanted to see what others thought.

Yeah!

I have seen a big Stak do the same thing at another Site just a Day or so ago.

The Big Stak Bet LARGE; Another answered w/all in for 80 or 100 more; and the Big 1 folded.
('m thinking "what's the big Deal, you can afford it). :what:

But then I figured the 1st Bet was a stone Cold Bluff; and the Guy didnt have sheet; and didnt want to show.
(He HAD been stealing a lot of Pots w/ Bully Bets).

So; yeah! there is some logic to it. :roflmao:

Even if I had a 7,2, you still have more than enough pot odds to call for such a little bit more, though. And hey - if you get caught playing that, just make sure you have a good hand the next time.

Very strange indeed, and preflop to boot, any two cards can win. Pot odds, common sense etc., you have to call. Possibly chip dumping? Who knows. I'd watch out for those two playing together in the future.

By the way, you forgot to edit out his name where it says he folded. :) Thanks for the heads up, into the notes they go.

That is my theory - and has happened to me before anyway, I hit the wrong button when my cat knocked the mouse!

I was playing at a $6-$6 no limit table when this happened....

Texas Hold'em $6-$6 NL (Real Money), #638,522,301
Table shmolvie's HE, 24 Jun 2006 1:16 AM ET

Seat 3: MadGlory x ($475.50 in chips)
Seat 4: EEEEEDOG ($1,080.50 in chips)
Seat 5: miggx ($68.50 in chips)
Seat 6: Aaron67a ($238.50 in chips)
Seat 7: tcb33 ($181 in chips)
Seat 8: dher5502 ($863 in chips)

ANTES/BLINDS
EEEEEDOG posts blind ($3), miggx posts blind ($6).

PRE-FLOP
Aaron67a folds, tcb33 folds, dher5502 folds, MadGlory x bets $35, EEEEEDOG folds, miggx bets $58, MadGlory x calls $29.

FLOP [board cards 5H,3H,3C ]
miggx bets $4.50 and is all-in, MadGlory x folds.

SHOWDOWN
miggx wins $132.50.

SUMMARY
Dealer: MadGlory x
Pot: $135.50, (including rake: $3)
MadGlory x, loses $64
EEEEEDOG, loses $3
miggx, bets $68.50, collects $132.50, net $64
Aaron67a, loses $0
tcb33, loses $0
dher5502, loses $0

In this case Player MadGlory put 64$ in the pot but folded to a 4.50$ all-in bet by player miggx on the flop. Sound weird to you...:what:
