Bad Players

5c/10c $10 buy 6 handed

Played a few orbits and one guy in late position if everyone checked or bet small bet into the pot which was usually no more than 50c at 3 times the pot size, on flops regardless pairs, flush draws etc.

I wasn't hitting anything and folded to him at least 3 times as did the other players, this guy had $15 biggest stack on the table. I was think fair enough try and steal the pot but at 3 times it's contents he was over betting highly.

So next time I hit the flop hard was with pocket 77s (flop 27K) this guy had position on me which was fine as I was checking and as the pot stood at 40c he fired $1.20 in to the middle, I flat called.
Turn was a 10 rainbow board and he fires $2.10, I called river nothing I check expecting to check raise and he checks - nothing, junk.

Few hands later I have JJ I raise in to 50c only he calls board 10 10 3 I check he checks 7 I check he checks 4 and he bets $2.00. I knew he was wary but figured he might has AK, AQ and thought himself ahead so I called K8 off - nice bluff NOT!

After that more often than not when he fired at a small flop with his 3x raises he got called and was forced to back down on most occasions. Eventually he blew his last $3.50 to me betting an Q8 on a flop of 28A and I had AK raised pre-flop again only he called and on the river I bet his stack he went in with his 8s and lost.

I find that at low limits poker 10c will take down a scary flop, 1/2 pot will win you a so so board without draws, and a pot bet if you have top pair is a gimme.

I always think if your hands so good why scare them off, if I flop a fullhouse I'm checking until someone hits a straight/flush or feels good and will bet big or call.

Why risk $1.20 to win 30c - 3rd of the time you get called and your out of pocket - in 30 minutes this guy went up and down then to nothing. I like him
