hands like these are not welcoming after a negative session. But oh well, I suppose it happens. I'm learning about this, and I figure with these plays I'll be in the green in the long run.

I wish players like that existed at 5NL+... I'd be staying at that table for a long time!

Players like this exist at 25NL. And they exist in tournaments.

It's funny because it's frustrating to get donkomatted like this, esp when it comes in streaks over and over. But you've got the right attitude, you want these kind of players over the long run.

I lost a stack at 25NL zone last night , I had AA. He had Q9o. Got stacks in on turn, guess who won. lol.

I've seen these players as high up as 200NL in the past when I had no sense of BRM. Saw a guy up there rake in like 2 stacks on some absurd hand like J5o and go "hey it's just a few hundred bucks it's all fun." Definitely want the these kind of folks at your tables long run, as long as you can survive their bizarre play in the short run.

Yeah, it sucks getting stacks in as an 86% favourite.
