When I asked him why he called, he told me he liked the trill....

I wonder how many players are like him...

LOL, I don't know but I wish there were more. I remember that was the kind of thing you saw quite often 3 or 4 years ago, but it's becoming rarer and rarer.

Still pretty common in donky LHE, the "give money away" play. Last night i capped 3 streets in a row with the nuts (top set uncoordinated board) and 2 donors came all the way.

Why even bother asking him what he thought?

BTW it's quite obvious you're bluffing.

BTW it's quite obvious you're bluffing.

Actually by pushing so big compared to what is in the pot, it looks like I am bluffing. The way he played, I put him on a Jack and I thought that by pushing he would look me up because he his that kind of player.

I never thought he would call me with K high. What does he expect to beat?????

Even if I am bluffing, I am probably bluffing with the best hand.

I keep hearing people say "it's rare these days". But no, it's not. I'd say the majority of the time I don't leave the first table I sit at becaue it's good enough. I usually play 2/4. So maybe you mean different limits.
Just had a college girl burn through her chips 10BBs at a time. She played 90+% of the hands.
