Between guys not knowing what the nuts are in a given hand and thinking that pairing up a K in a Kx hand is worth dollar bets ++ on the river with 2 aces on board, I was going a little crazy not having someone to show and tell.
Yeah, you got some debate here
Of course the hand worked out well for you and we don't begrudge you the win. I mean, folding to an FTR member's raise should be part of standard poker rules, eh? (If you're not yourself a member ).

I know what you mean about the wanting to vent etc. It can be frustrating at this level when you get people betting trips the same way they bet A-high...


Friday and Saturday nights are insane with people buying in with $3.50 @10NL or people chasing double gutshots and paying through the nose. Even at 25NL it's just as bad. I tried one table for two hours, but without the BR I couldn't call or raise alot of the stupid bets for fear of losing.
Probably get shot for saying this but... why not just play it? I mean, you're bankrolled for ONE game of $25nl so long as you have $25. If you can take it out of your roll without leaving yourself underrolled for you standard 5NL or 10NL game then why not?
If you're going to play a table, play it.

I've got my spreadsheet where I enter each buy-in and cash out and I always put $0 by cash-out until proven otherwise. That money's gone as far as I'm concerned. I look at my BR and that's my new BR total, if I can't live with that it's time to yank the money back off the table.

If you just want to see how the game works at 25NL then just observe.

Of course $25NL on Party is where the fish go after their 45 day quarantine. Those who haven't been eaten by larger fish, that is.
