4/8 HE at Bellagio. I have AQs in middle position. UTG+1 (a really really loose woman) raises, I re-raise, button cold calls (a loose but knowledgeable player who is playing stakes that he claims are way below his normal level.

Flop comes J88 with two clubs. UTG bets, I raise, button cold calls again. Turn comes 2 of clubs giving me the nut flush. Check, i bet, button calls, UTG+1 calls. River is the 2 hearts, so final board is J8822. UTG checks, so do I, so does button. UTG shows KJo for two pair, I show my flush and button shows 72o for the runner runner boat. I know that everyone is as stunned as I am...he essentially calls 5 bets cold (3 preflop, 2 flop) with the worst hand you can hold and hits miracle miracle. Bleah.....

Not that this should matter or anything........but man, what limits does this guy usually play?!! $400-800? He was trying so desperately to give you his chips throughout - but how could he NOT bet the river! I hope you got some of his chips before he left....or tapped out!


4P-

(..also hope you had a good time on your vacation :)

That table is rigged man...:)

We all know how you feel and i am feeling it at this moment being thrown out of a tourney with cowboys against 56 diamonds preflop i was so close to the money and to big chip lead over the 20 left.

Keeps happening to me these past weeks its time to take a break but find that very hard to do.

Oh well.

Keep on learning :).

Tommyhawk.

How much validity do you give the first statement now?

I got that information from another player and a few dealers who knew this guy, so I felt like it was probably true. He was playing like Negreano on his "Party Days".
