Huge overbet

So I'm playing last night at my local casino, HorseShoe Southern Indiana in a 1/2 NL cash game. I'm UTG and look down at 7c5c, I casually limp into the pot. The girl sitting on my immediate left makes it a flat 10 bucks to go, she gets four callers including me. The flop comes all clubs, I just flopped my second flush against her within thirty minutes. The first flop I doubled up on her with 8d5d and she mucked a straight is what she says. This second flop of a club flush is just crazy. I naturally check, she overbets the pot and puts her whole three hundred dollar stack into the middle of a what was only about a 50-55 dollar pot. Everyone folds back to me, I'm literally stunned and pause for at least twenty seconds accidently showing my whole cards to the dude on my right. But I look at her and say outloud that I flopped an absolute monster and I call. I roll over my flush and she sighs as she doesn't show her cards. The turn's another club which I thought killed me, but it didn't. Now here's where's it hazy, I absolutely don't remember the river card but I just know it was a red card. She mucks her hand and then two seconds later says give me my cards back, I had a full house. I jump up at that point and said "no, you're hand was mucked and is therefore dead." The dealer also informs her that the hand was mucked and it's now dead...my pot.

This was one of the craziest scenes I've been involved with, she got mouthy with me and I popped off back to her. I stated I was leaving and she said you should leave etc, but I just wanted to share this story on here. I didn't understand the overbet anyway, the only had that could call her in that situation is a hand that could beat her, that's the old saying. People don't need to be playing for hundreds of dollars if they can't even identify when they've got the winning hand.

Looking back, I'm now wishing I would've stayed, that seat was HOT. But it was such a weird scene between she and I that I was ready to leave having already been there about five or six hours. I probably could've taken it deep, maybe stacked 1200-1400, but I try not to be greedy. Live games, which is all I play, are MUCH different than online games. I quit the online scene a couple of years ago. The collusion and all around uncertainty in the online poker scene is a place I got real tired of throwing my money into.

Good call. Since you apparently limp UTG with 75s, you couldn`t expect to win online, only in a casino playing against drunks and tourists. :p

Some live games are just so loose passive that you can limp all sorts of hands everywhere (implied odds ones anyway).

Here is an example I just played :

Seat 6: anycat didn't bet (folded)
Seat 7: alexarty didn't bet (folded)
Seat 8: zek folded on the Flop
Seat 9: BlindSpain folded on the Flop


I only had 4 hands of data on the player that went all-in on the flop, nothing useful. I've seen this kind of play go both ways in Rush poker. Sometimes they have a set and want the call, sometimes they have a massive draw and won't be disappointed if they get the call. The AA's are nothing more than a pair, don't get married to them, but I'm also not the proud of my great (wrong) folds type of player either. In the end I see it as why risk ~$8 to protect $0.12 cents. Thoughts?

U got lucky in so many ways, preflop i wouldn't call with ur hand, and later on the river when she didn't look at her cards. I guess after the flop u played well, maybe a bit risky when u call the all in. But there is no way i would call preflop. I would also agree with pascal le fiscal and i wouldn't leave with her angry on the table, free money there.
