sometimes people play bad in tournaments where the buyin is equivalent to a packet of cigarettes.. thats hardly breaking news though

[jezza777]

he was gonna take it off you on the turn

sometimes they play badly in any value of tourny.

hes either a lucky fish or as jezza says hes put you on a 6 and is gonna try get you off on the turn when an overcard comes

[M3boy]

He has K high, and is drawing to runner runner str8

You expect him to fold?

Some of the calls I have been getting recently in cash games are unbelievable, it is as though they can see my hole cards. - short term these cals hurt, but long term they MUST be profitable for you ?!

I like his play.

Firstly, limping with J8o UTG is pretty advanced in itself. Not only do the offsuit cards give him two chances of hitting a flush, but by playing 2-gap connectors he gives himself more straight possibilities.

His flop call is justified by the implied odds that his numerous draws are giving him: 2 jacks or eights on the turn/river give him trips, plus the runner/runner straight that m3boy mentioned. He is also already ahead of many holdings such as T8o, and J7o.

My sarcasm detector has just exploded!! 

[fergus8]

did any1 notice he was playing for an inverted wilson, not in your hand but the turn river wilson combo, advanced poker indeed

[tantrum]

Why are you commiting all your chips with a pair on that board?
