I don know how people can do this, keep raising and raising with A8s??

Wouldn't you get the drift when they kept re-raising

Hmmmm I guess you just get picky when you are on here for so long.

Yes the blinds are high but not that high to considering pushing with AXs.

[drmcboy]

He's pot commited after the first raise. certainly he should have just moved it in if he was going to play, but you can't fold for 170 more there.

[Krotalus]

well at least they were suited and he did have an ace.

i have seen a lot more baffling calls than that.

Sometimes i just sit and shake my head at some of the cards people will call to the river. Other times I laugh and occasionally i will cry

[Staresy]

I know what u mean.

When I see these goofball plays, part of me wants to direct players to this site so they can actually learn how to play this game but then I don't because I just can't be arsed reading through tons of "what did I do wrong here" type posts, only for us all to have to waste our time replying "you are shit"

[Muxy]

I think they think AXs is a monster yes it is when you are uber short stacked, meh i dont know.

[Squeak2k2]

Definately not the worst you'll see. I got extremely more baffling one just last night.
