And yea Mad, people are far more willing to chase online, to the point where they literally put their hopes and majority of their stack onto a runner runner turn/river. Pathetic play, but always seems to pay off for them. Just love the play when it does, and there's me sitting there with a flopped full house hahaha gotchya

Still bugs me though how people are soo willing to get all their chips into the middle pre-flop with mid pairs. Am I missing something there???
It depends ^.... stage of tourney, stack sizes, table image, effective stack sizes compared w blinds, position, fold equity, etc. Some of the stuff that surprises me is Late Level play and you have players calling off 4bet shoves for 2/3 of their stack with 22 / 33
Or the overaggro MTT regs. who'll raise/call 30bb deep w QTo.

In the micros of course you see all kinds of crazy stuff. Played a handful last night & the stuff was just ridiculous (but to be expected).. here's an eg. EP limps, eMP calls, MP calls, I call in LP.. BB checks (5wy pot), Flop is K-8-3 two-tone (2diamonds). EP bets POT.. eMP raise just a bit more than 'min' (2.5x), I ship it... for 35bb's (50/100 in one of those $3-KO 90plyr. donkfest sng's on Fulltilt..I never play them but was fooling around with a new HUD I was checking out)... EP snapcalls.. eMP folds (the guy who 3bet postflop?.. figured he was for sure priced in). EP shows KJo... whoa???? How could he even dream that his hand was good in that spot? (I had set obv.).
Way way way worse stuff than that in those $3-KO 90man SNG's (probably draws out the most bad players than anyother game on the site.... the % of over-aggro spew donks is amazing (at least 1/3 of the field), another 1/3 are loosecallingstations... limping on blinds of 300/600 w 10bb's... flat calling raises w <12bb, etc. etc. and the last 1/3 is a split between tight/pass(weak) and maybe 1/6 of the field are decent micro buyin SNG players (some of them claim to actuallyl have very big ROI from those games.. can't see how one could have the patience to endure them).
All of this ^, is just an example of why you'll see a ton of badbeats... it's cuz there's a TON of bad players.
