yesterday i played my new favorite game, .01/.02 poker stars NLHE. i've played about 1000 hands, and have netted a cool minus $1.

but yesterday, oh yesterday, i ran into the ultimate donator. he went all in 80% of the time preflop. people were taking shots at him with any pair, and just about any A. about 15 minutes into this, he still hadn't doubled up, and would continue to immediately rebuy for the full $5.

at this point, if asked, he would say what he had. i had the benefit of being on his right. if no one else chose to call him, then, i had last option. if i had something, i'd make a raise to .20 or so, to let others know i was strong. if i was pretty weak but willing to call all-in, i'd just limp and see what everyone else did to the all-in maniac.

so here's the question; how many times in your life will you call all-in, preflop, in a cash game, with ? i'm proud to say i did, and doubled up.

i'm in the big blind. he pushes, and it folds around. i wait a few seconds, and he announces he's got 53. i hadn't seen him lie about a hand, and had announced accurately 10 times.

i call in a shot, and double through.

Sounds like a kid to me. Take his lunch money.

poor guy lost $45 in 40 hands. and that's at a .02BB table. i almost came close to being nearby sorta feeling sorry for him.

Bwahahahaha!

probably a 1/2 player blowing off some steam.

yea i think he was prolly just a higher stakes player on tilt, or he was just a weirdo

Should've told him it was just varience and 2000+ BB swings are common at a sitting... LOL

Probably a new drinking game for higher limit players.

lol
but wait u were playin .01/.02? so the max buyin is 2 bucks?

[TomHimself]

he still hadn't doubled up, and would continue to immediately rebuy for the full $5.

so u can buy in 5 bucks for a 1c/2c game? very interesting usually its 100x BB or SB

[smoore]

yeah, max buyin for the stars penny game is $5. Makes the blinds absolutely worthless so you don't have to worry about defending them. the next game up is .05/.10 and max there is $10.

My friend went all in twice with non picture suited cards, he was called both times. One time he lost to Ace high, the other time he made his flush and doubled up.
