I'm feeling disenchanted, so, in the spirit of this thread, here's my next bad beat rant:
Pocket 99: Can't win with 'em, can't win against 'em!
Check out these HH's from the same table at Party:
Both opponents that will be featured have generally played like "LAG-maniacs", limping to an opened pot or raising almost every unopened pot. Their raises are generally not indicative of the strength of their hands.
