Im playing a spot of Stud on Stars this morning. Im taking business calls and doing some paperwork so im milling around in a couple of micro limit games. 0.04/0.08 limit with a .01 ante. (pretending that im Smash :shock: ) I've taken my .50c buy in to over $6 and its fish central.If only the $4/$8 game was this loose. Anyway, I have 3 10's showing. And have 8's in the hole by the time 6th street is dealt.. Im capping everything and I have two callers/raisers. Both seem to have flush draws or even already hold one.Anyway all the cards are dealt and I come out betting. The first player folds. OK he missed his draw. Next player raises. I think OK he made his flush draw and has an A :D showing so its a nut flush. I re raise. He raises that and I call. So I get to see his hand.HE HAD MISSED THE FLUSH DRAW AND HAD RAISED WITH 2 PAIR.Why did he keep going knowing that I had been capping every street and wasnt going stop. When he could even see I had him beat with 3x 10's never mind my boat. Did he really think I would lay down the hand with his raises hoping I only had the 10's showing and I would fold to his possible flush? Or is this just ultimate fish play? Im voting it as the most stupid play I have ever seen!Have you seen worse? What do you make of this?
All the best

haha i'd have to agree with you. however, i'm not sure what's stupider, chasing the flush against a paired board on 5th, tripped on 6th, or capping it on 7th after you three-bet him, in hopes of making you fold.i think the last one gets the prize. :-) aseem
