Usually the weekend is pretty prime with fishy games, but I think that this weekend has been about the best I've seen yet. I've never seen so much bad chasing in my life. I've been playing the 2/4 on party and UB all weekend and it's really surprising. I think today (Monday) has been the worst of all. Anyone else noticing this or am I sitting in some really soft games? It's nice if you can adjust your game and handle the suckouts. If you can't though, steer clear for sure!

Isn't it the truth though!........you say to someone, "man this game I was in was soooo good", and the very next words out of their mouth is, "how much did you lose?" LOL!!

But I do agree with Lee here, I myself found the games to be even better than usual over this weekend. Is that possible for Party Poker? I played in a limit HE tourney and I only played in about 2 or 3 of them (don't care for tournament style, but anyway)......I placed 7th out of about 350 people and got back over $550 for my $50 +5 buyin. Not great as first place paid over 8K, but it was better than nothing!!

lol! I managed to do ok. Not nearly as well as I would have liked, but I can't complain. It wasn't until the last few hours of playing too that I really picked up.

Yeah, it was really fishy but I saw the other side of the ledger. People calling three bets cold from me (with AK) on an AK7 flop with pocket tens and spiking the Ten on the turn, crap like that. So, enjoy your largesse and send some goodwill my way!!

I checked my option in the big blind with a suited A5 and saw an AA5 flop. Nice! I bet out, hoping to get some play from the other ace, and sure enough, someone raised me. Another player called cold and I called. The turn was a 6. I checked, the other player bets, and now the cold caller springs into action and raises. Hrm, ok. I reraise and everyone calls. The river is another 6. I bet out, the cold caller raises, the other guy calls, I reraise thinking only one of them can have the ace, and the caller 4 bets. He turns over 66, no lies. He called 2 bets cold with a small underpair on the flop and turned quads into it. I hadda get up for a few minutes after that one! I feel the pain shorn, I feel the pain!
