AHHH THESE DAMN LIMPERS.

Should have jammed over his weak limping butt before we got the flop. Yeah jamming EIGHT FOUR off like a baller.

So anyway back to reality.

What do i do? I check ... why would I do anything else!!!!!

We have bottom pair and just about zero (well maybe a bit more with the back door straight draws), chance of improving here. Barring some crazy two pair, even if we do hit a 2pair type hand, we will have a WEAK two pair type hand.

Our villian who limped, might be limping a monster, or he may be completing with overcards to our hand (because let's face it there are not a great deal of undercards), finally he could be limping a pocket pair he wants to see a cheap flop with - over cards that may have hit the flop, or desire to stick around for a turn, a pair may not give up to a stab here.

If we bet we are oop in the hand, and won't have a clue where we are past the flop! Plus just about every turn card makes our hand worse.

So I check. Fold to a raise and try to get to a cheap showdown unimproved.

If this guy limps my blind again I might just explode though AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Just like this crazy russian!!

AHHHHHHHHHHH

Well done! GL !!! 

Thanks Ina!

Here is a lesson, in the delicate and meditative style of poker.

Where you are completey at one with your surroundings...

and nothing at all distrubs your equilibrium...

watch out for the slowroll on the river...

The first time I saw it, this video made me laugh. But... how horrible this guy must be as a live opponent!

yes,i've laughed both times ive seen this now yesterday and today, for sure live would be a whole other level

if you loose we win, if you win we win anyway?

haha yes got to admire the honesty! ;)
