Crazy Hand

Here is an example of a hand that I think that shows exactly what I mean by the weak/loose caliber of play at Full Contact. This is courtesy of Cameltoes.

O.K., here's the situation, my parents went away on a weeks vacation.........sorry, just had a Fresh Prince flashback. Seriously, here's the situation: $3/$6, 10 people at the table. Here we go.

Our hero, Cameltoes, is in MP with 44, and he calls after one limper calls in front of him. A rock raises and 2 others cold call, as does the BB, and the 2 limpers.

The flop comes down 4h9sQd. BB bets, limper calls, Cameltoes calls, and the Rock raises. One of the cold callers folds and the 3 other call. Now we're getting a pot here.

The turn brings a 7d. The BB checks and then limper wakes up as bets, so Cameltoes fires off a a raise. The Rock cold calls, as does the BB. The limper just calls the raise.

A Tc falls on the river and they check to Cameltoes, who bets and the BB and the Rock call (how can the limper fold now?......I think he had Ax).

Here are the hands:
The Rock: AdQs
BB: Qh9c
Cameltoes wins a $142.50 pot with a net of $106.50 profit.

Here's what I don't understand. How can the Rock hang on with just his top pair/top kicker? I can't even fathom him cold calling the 2 bets on the turn and still think that your hand is good, especially with 3 others in the hand. He didn't even have a straight/flush draw then. There is no way that he was going to win that hand, and you would think that a rock would realize that.

But now you can see how soooooo many players hold on to anything just waiting to suckout on a brotha's buttocks. And that's how the ass end of variance is kicking me in da nads as of late.

This was just too crazy of a hand not to share with the 3 of you out there that might read this sucker.

Keep on keepin' on.
