I wont go into great detail, but this was a live game that gave me a good laugh because of how weak the players are - and how it happened to work in their favor. This is at a 3/6 game, so it should come as no suprise - but it brought a grin to my face.I have kings. Get called by the whole table basically. Blah blah blah, i bet it the whole way (get just called the whole way) and it goes - K/9/Q ... 9... Q.Two people made queens full of nines and yet, at no point in the betting did either of them raise me. Holy shit. Half of the table couldnt muster the courage to raise nut hands the entire night. This one girl was willing to call down to the showdown with queen high, but raise? No sir. Not that wench. It was a real treat. I would never have to pay off any hands to any significant degree because they would never raise them. I make a slimy two pair from the big blind and someone rivers a set - but it's ok, because they wont raise me despite the board being safe otherwise!

Tight-passive/weak players really make me laugh. It's hard to get angry when they suck out because they won't make you pay for it. I've often walked away from a run-in with aces really relieved that they didn't bust me hard when they could've.
