How can people play this poorly for $200!!!

I was playing some $2 double ups on Titan and seen people registering for a $200 one, so thought I'd watch to see how the play was at this level.

I typically play $5< so never played on any of these tables, is this comon!?

I was shocked at these plays, I mean I was playing for 100x less at the time and the play at my table was far superior. Anyways I Copied some HH to for you guys to have a look at, some even worse plays must've escaped me but i thought these were pretty good. Personally the 73o is my favorite.

There's fish at every level.

Well depending on how you look at that. I would look at that as an aggression bet.

E.g. he thought he had AK instead of JJ. Ace high only.

never played at titan, but i don't think it matters what site your on.
these players most have money to burn or easy come easy go attitude.
it's not uncommon for a person to win a bundle then turn around and loose it. seems to be the "gamblers way" or mentality if you know what i mean.
i play mostly on FT and every now and then come accross a super aggressive style that no matter what they hit.
it only takes a couple of good wins with these hands to encourage them to continue to play that way. thier lousy play once reenforced by a win will show them it can be done.
i personnally would encourage playing an off hand when ever you can cheaply. if you have a tendency to want to be loose and get it out of your system. peace

Regarding the 73 hand, I don't understand betting four times the pot with an all in on the Turn. If he wanted to be aggressive (as another poster suggested), a pot size bet would have accomplished the same thing without risking all his chips in case he's crushed.

its easy how people play this bad... its a DONKfest online. people get play when they are Drunk, stoned, tired, wide awake, .... they mis click, mis raise, accidently add a zero... alol sorts of stuff can happen... keep that in mind when playing yoru next tourny or cash game. Look for people sitting out all the time... or occasionally ... they stend to have other thinsg going on in there life then just online poker.

Yeah u do get the odd fish at them level's. Probs rich kids who are playin poker for the 1st time?

When you run into players like this, do yourself and everyone else a huge favor and do NOT belittle them in any way, shape or form. When they suckout and get lucky, do everything you can to congratulate (sp?) them. Keep reinforcing that they are making the right play. Do your part to keep fish....fish.

Thanks in advance.

if u don't want to play with bad players, i suggest you play in some $5k turbo HU SNG's

I wasn't playing with them, I was just watching as I was intregued as to what the play was like at this level. I thought it would be full of solid players and very tight. But instead... lol.

Well I thought I'd see what sharkcope revealed about these players, The 73o guy has played 413, and is down $9604, ROI -25% yet he has an "ability" 66/100.

The K5 guy, has played 389, down $5499 ROI -15%. Dont these people know when to stop?

well. its people like this that allow professionals to earn a living

I've said it before and I'll repeat it again ...DONKS have money too!! you can't escape them and it suxx when they get the benefit off thier bad play .... just try to take thier chipies and send 'em to the rail !!

I think this is a good news for ppl like I that want to go to higher stakes and make cash

:congrats: AMEN!

You have to look at it from this sense also.. just like a micro game I prob would joke around and play dumb.....but if you have a 20k br whats $200

Good News! Money for the taking at the higher buy-ins. I can hardly wait!

Never, never play in the iPoker network. It is pure casino. You win with any cards when you join, and you loose every hand later.

Its online poker, most of the players dont care because its not real poker. Its just a game on the computer, like WoW.

Thats why others earn the money
