Did you see the Pot Limit Holdem tournament on the WSOP? Gavin Griffin won the tournament and he was playing REALLY loose for the entire thing.

On one hand late in the tournament, he called the BB. Another player at the table commented about this. Gavin hasn't checked all day. Gavin caused more of a stir by checking than he would have by raising.

Sometimes at a table, you can find a real maniac slow-playing a hand. In the right hands, this is their biggest flaw. It becomes so easy to read them that you can easily lay down the worse hand without losing any chips, and you can soak his for a lot of chips when you have the best hand.

In your hand, you were destined to lose money. It would be really tough to put him on trips, and even if you read his hand as strong, you should feel that your hand is stronger.
