Wow, How did CPBabes get that stack in the first place?

I had just sat down, and CPbabes was fairly quiet for about 10 hands and then just started going bonkers. I didn't see how the stack materialized.

All I can say is: it is too bad you didn't pick up a better hand during that streak. When you run into those guys, it is kinda like the lotto. Whoever gets lucky and picks up a decent hand gets to send him home. . . Unless he gets lucky, and then he builds his stack up to $700. This guy needs to learn when to walk away from the slot machine.

Well I caught the 77 in the last hand and would have called if 99 didn't blast the pot right before me. I'm just glad he wasn't behind me with that, since he ended up with quads.

Timing is everything. Glad you got away too.

Play much B&M poker?

Actually never played B&M. I'm sure you've seen some doosies. Any good stories Fnord?

he probably has a little kid or something who came in the room when he went to make a coffee...

poor lil guy

I was about to say, I bet your heart skipped a beat when you looked down and saw the 77!

Un-believable stuff

Then you don't have a true appreciation for just how horribly many people play this game for lots of money.

These HHs hardly even made me flinch...

The thing about B&M play is that the gambling vibe present in the rest of the casino permeates the poker room as well. Because of the atmosphere you have many more people playing with a gambling mentality and to a much higher degree then you generally find online. You also have Pacific Poker syndrome in which you're only playing one table so you have people anxious to play hands even when they probably shouldn't and subsequently taking them too far. Factor in possible alcohol consumption and it obviously gets worse. It's also relatively easy to put your ego aside when you're playing online. When you're playing live though and staring your opponents in the face, pots won and lost suddenly become much more personal.

Gambling+Anxiousness+Alcohol+Ego = exponential WTF? factor
