Low limit 4/8 game table next to mine. Table full of Any Two Cards might win, play every hand, chase any draw to the river players. Tight player gets completely fed up getting his AA cracked, and God knows what else, cracked multiple times by chasers. Starts racking up remaining chips with a lot of yelling and cursing, loudly announces he is playing his last hand face up (this is not legal, his hand should be dead, but I think the dealer and floor let it slide because of the heated discussion that had been going on at the table). Our table kind of stops play and turns to watch the show.

Guy is on the button and gets dealt 85 off suit, and raises after about 5 limpers, they all call.

Flop comes all rags 8xx.

check, check, check, check, check, Guy with his 85o turned face up bets.
First player looks at his cards, looks at the board, and calls.
Second player looks at his cards, looks at the board, and calls.
Third player looks at his cards, looks at the board, and calls.
Fourth player looks at his cards, looks at the board, and calls.
Fifth player looks at his cards, looks at the board, and calls.

Turn comes a 5. Board is 8xx5.

check, check, check, check, check, Guy with his 85o turned face up bets.
First player looks at his cards, then looks at the board, and calls.
Second player looks at his cards, then looks at the board, and calls.
Third player looks at his cards, then looks at the board, and calls.
Fourth player looks at his cards, then looks at the board, and calls.
Fifth player looks at his cards, then looks at the board, and calls.

River comes an ace or something, making the Board 8xx5A.

First player looks at his cards, then the board, and checks.
Second player looks at his cards, then the board, and checks.
Third player looks at his cards, then the board, and checks.
Fourth player looks at his cards, then the board, and checks.
Fifth player looks at his cards, then the board, and checks.

Guy starts loudly cussing. "That Ace probaly beat me, you Ace/Rag chasers probably beat my two pair! Go ahead and take it!" He bets with his 85o hand turned face up in front of him.

First player looks at his cards, then looks at the board, then looks at his cards, and calls.
Second player looks at his cards, then looks at the board, then looks at his cards, and calls.
Third player looks at his cards, then looks at the board, then looks at his cards, and calls.
Fourth player looks at his cards, then looks at the board, then looks at his cards, and calls.
Fifth player looks at his cards, then looks at the board, then looks at his cards, and calls.

Everyone sits around and then the hemming and hawing and hesitation sets in waiting for one of the 5 to turn up a winning hand.

Guy has all his remaining chips racked up now and hollers "Come on already! You know what I got - two pair!!!" - pointing to his face up cards. "Who sucked out and beat me???"

First player slowly folds.
Second player looks at his cards and then slowly folds.
Third player looks at his cards, then looks at the board, and then slowly folds.
Fourth player looks at his cards, then looks at the board, then looks at his cards, and then slowly folds.
Fifth player looks at his cards, then looks at the board, then looks at his cards, then looks at the board again, then looks at his cards one last time, and then slowly folds.

Dealer shoves the pot to the Guy, who really starts ranting and calling the rest of the table every name in the book as he racks up these additional chips and leaves. After he leaves, rest of the table never says a word, as the Dealer deals another hand and about 8 players proceed to limp in and see the next flop. My table just looks at each other completely amazed, wondering if we should continue to play our hands, or rush to fill that now empty seat!

Finally someone at our table yells out, "Why did you dummies all call that river bet?" Bunch of muttering and grumbling from the other table, and then we all fell out of our chairs laughing when one old man hemmed and hawwed and finally blurted out, "He could have been bluffin' !!!"

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
