Just a bit off topic, but I was watching a no limit table at the London Victoria this past Saturday. I went there to cash in £100 worth of chips so I had some money until my monthly paycheck arrives.

Anyway, this table is a £5/£10 no limit table. Lots of £100 and £25 chips all over the place. So speaking of playing poorly at low limits, how is this one at higher limits. Guy raises to £150, two callers. Flop is junk but two diamonds. Same guy bets again another £250 and gets called by one other. Turn nothing....Original bettor throws in another £250 and gets called. River is a third and the calling station takes the pot with a 3 frickin 7 of diamonds! Evidently the donkeys play at the higher limits as well. This donkey in a $10/$20 game calls a preflop raise of over $300 with a 3 7 !!! He chased and takes down a huge pot.

Must be nice to have that kind of money to chase draws with only complete junk.

The last time I was at Foxwoods a hand went down like this ($5/$10 NL):

Guy raises to $250 preflop
One caller who checked UTG.
Flop is J92

Check.
Orig bettor puts out $250
Calls again.

Turn is a 6
Check.
Bets $650.
Calls again.

River is a T
All in for $900 more.
Bettor reluctantly calls with pocket Jacks (top set on flop).

Of course the guy shows 58.

Sadly...I folded A9 preflop. $250 is a deep raise for a 5/10NL table preflop...but to call it with 58 is really deep.
