The guy on the button was a retard. He lost about $1k in a little more than an hour. That's right 17+ bets in a little over an hour. I was actually surprised that he didn't raise the Ace. He didn't play it this way to bluff a tight player in a later round of betting. He was on an inside straight/King draw. Maybe he thought his 9 was good too. I only had 50-59 hands of data on him going into the hand.

Players like this are players that I don't wanna oil my body much to squeeze into his little head. They're just bad players. ABC robotic poker approach. There are a lot of horrible mid-limit players, even online. The 30/60 game online used to be tough, I'd think because I remember when they were the highest limits you could play online on Stars, Party, and UB. I didn't play them then. The only limit I was playing online at that time was 5/10 and then I didn't play limit online for a while.

EDIT:
I'd lurk around in those games periodically and would see some bad play, but not nearly as much as I see now. That's why I like it now and it's a good way to make some $$$ while I go on this big bet poker hiatus. I've lurked the 100/200 and up games when well known pros are there and I get curious for 15 minutes or so. Bad players are everywhere. Think of it this way, the pros in the big games at Bellagio are getting their money from somewhere, aren't they?
