How in the world could he call with the worst possible hand? Even I would struggle to 'bluff-call'.

Probably because he realized that I'm a donkey and that his 3-outter was coming, which makes him the favorite!

Ah Stars, the site I've taken my money and walked away from 5 times... and no doubt I'll comeback for more punishment at some point. You're right though Charlton, that's just laughable. I hope you congratulated him/her for outplaying you.

BTW, why 200? At that level of buy-in you know they're not laying it down for 150 more, and with 705 left I'd think you'd just check. Or move in. Not trying to break down this ridiculous hand but seems a bit odd with that hand, blinds, buy in.

No, i was too busy laughing to type.

And, I dunno, I thought maybe they'd fold to a 4-bet from a guy who had only played 3 hands, showing down AK, AQ and TT. I know, I'm a donkey!

If giving your opponents more credit than they deserve (i.e. $12 online game) makes you a donkey, than consider yourself Shrek's best friend.

^^^ then

So, I have about 1k at this point, blinds are at 20/40

I x3 UTG to 120, villain calls, button pushes alin for ~1200, I call and villain calls.

I know all the books talk about the "ideal" initial opening bets being 2.5-3x the big blind, but in my limited online experience, you tend to need a much higher bet to have the same impact, especially in these small SNG's where the rounds are short and blinds get high quick (and if the players only invested a couple bucks for buyin, even moreso).

Obviously in this hand, the 9-5 guy was coming in regardless of the opening bet since he apparently thought his big stack made him impervious to bad play.

The whole set up/blinds/pay out structure of these small buy in SNG's breeds this kind of ultra-donking. I prefer cash games for that reason.

[charlton49]

This last one was actually a MTT... I think somewhere around 300-400 people playing. We were about 20 mins into it at this point, so we'd definitely seen quite a few hands. Granted it was only a $10+1 buyin, but I still don't see how that justifies the call. The screenshot shows the money after he scooped, so you're actually missing out on that he had initially called with about ~1k, then called the allinx2 again with that. So, at about 25BB I don't see the rush to get all the money in the pot!

Someday, I'll be baller-status like you and play the $2/5 games where people might actually respect my bets!
