    Default this is frustrating to see

    .05/.10 6-people table.

    Guy comes in with $2. First hand, he throws over half of it on the table preflop. Hm, lucky break? Everyone folds.

    Next hand. Same dice. Throws over half his fortune in preflop. Hm, a loose aggressive who only comes in with $2? Or a maniac? He gets called on it. Flop comes around. He goes all-in. Other guy calls. Ok, I pull out some popcorn and watch. The cards are shown. Our newcomes has something like 78o with a 7 table. Ok, definite maniac, and the other guy is packing a nice TPTK. On the river our maniac gets an 8 and takes the pot. Sigh.

    Next hand same thing! But this time an all-in preflop. So what will he have this time? Even crappier cards! 37o. Other guy has JJ. Flop drops a 7, river drops another 7.

    Our maniac now has quadrupled his $2. He folds the next three hands, then leaves.

    Yeah.. that's annoying! (atleast he didn't take any money from me I guess)

    This kind of stuff happens at lower limits unfortunately.

    Nothing you can really do except call when you have the best of it.

    Unfortunately?

    Hehe, I've found that even at the middleish stakes, there are plenty of gamblers and terrible players that try to donate you their money, but extremely rarely do you find somebody THIS generous.
