I used to play on Pacific Poker before I realised that the site didn't provide hand histories so it was impossible to learn anything there. Today I finally got round to taking all my money out. On the way I popped into a couple of the 2NL rooms and found the same nutjobs still there.

There was the guy who only plays one table at a time and folds. every. single. hand. He doesn't defend his blinds, he doesn't do anything. Like a viper lying in wait, he folds. And folds. And folds. Until he gets AA, KK or QQ. Then he shoves. And everyone else folds. And then he goes back to folding. And folding. And folding.

There was also the guy who always buys in for 10 big blinds - 20c. Always. For him, the concept of "don't min raise" is completely irrelevant. A min raise pre flop gives you the wrong odds to set mine. A min raise post flop is a shove.

On PS microstakes, the competition is just bad. People shove Qh6h preflop. (Can someone explain why? I wouldn't shove Qh6h preflop if I was playing with my dog) Or they chase draws without proper odds. But on Pacific, the players are in a totally different class.

lol nice story

i noticed there was a guy at one of my tables with VPIP% of 0 after about 300 hands. It was pretty funny :D

and then this one hand i am in i get KQ or something... but this guy with VPIP of 0, he limps! so i thought to myself, "he has to have aces here, he hasnt played a hand yet"

so i snap fold and some other fish calls. they end up tangling a bit and each probably puts in about 40BB's. Sure enough he flips over aces and wins the pot. was one of the weirdest yet funniest moments in poker for me so far
