Playing 3 cash tables at the mo (3/6 nl) and there is a different guy on each table who insists on betting stupid amounts each time. 43.72 or 29.63 or 91.47 WHY?  ?? It is really irritating. Anyone else get wound up by this? ( although i guess that is the point) |

When it comes to decimal betting i don't see the point of it but it doesn't annoy me.
I suppose they think they are quirky.

This is the point. Not seeing the (decimal) point is exactly my point. Seeing the point is pointless. Maybe i am still drunk |

I decimal bet sometimes to ...
1. annoy people into going onto tilt.
2. make small bets seem bigger (player dependent)
3. make it look like im making a small bet seem bigger (player dependent)
4. Mess up everyone else's stack for a laugh.
5. Keep a record of who's been calling my raises by looking for the "decimated" (wrong use but f*** it) stacks who've messed with the cat.
6. clean up my own stack.
7. Leave myself 0.01c back to fire the lamest bullet ever on the flop.

I like to bet 0.01 less than the opponent has, then vow to myself to check/call till the end unless I have Straight Flush+
It's what I do to induce the worst bubble value raises and bubble value bets in the history of mankind.
It makes me feel big and clever

Lol, I do this too. It's an awesome tactic  If they go all-in over the top for their last 0.01 then I use my full time clock before calling. |

I'd expect that sort of behaviour from a guy who buys every single item in an auction  |

I like doing quirky bets in live tournaments when they are slow to take away the 25's. It really does irritate

Another good reason for doing it is it stops people raising you as they struggle to work on how much the correct raise is so they just call or pass
