Played for 30 minutes over lunch (5c/10c $10) quickly realised how weak the people on the table were and as I only recognised 1 name - I figured them new to the game or at least the site.
While I was raising and re-raising and stealing pots watching them backdown pretty much everytime. I started to realise how far my games has come, there was no way these guys were going to sniff out my continuation bets, they just fold to any overcards in their hands having made foolish pre-flops calls for 5xBB and shitting when an Ace comes
One guy blew off his $5 to me everyone limped I had K10off in middle postion flops come Q3J rainbow 60c in the pot everyone checks and the button fires 10c all fold except me and 1 other player we both call I have up and down straight draw and 1 overcard so I'm in for 10c. Turn comes an Ace still rainbow board, super, first to act bets 50c and I call, button folds river is 7, first to act bets about half his chips and I re-raise him for the rest he calls with 2 pair Q3.
He mutters into the chat box how lucky I am, sure I out drew him but with 11 outs on the flop like I wouldn't call 10c at 7-1, when the A hits and the river doesn't help he is so beaten by loads of hands AJ, AQ, A3, QJ, QQ, 33, JJ, AA, K10, A7, Q7, 77, so why throw in the cash when you could are more likely to be behind. If on the flop he hadn't tried to play it slow I would have folded to a pot size bet. Then why call a re-raise over the top for the rest of your chips - I know these newer players value 2 pair and sure it's nice to see but second pair and bottom pair - hmmm I'd be worried.
