Long time reader, first time poster.

Had three runner runner boat situations like this all happen within about a 7 minute period.

Here are the worst two. I think i am quitting limit after this...

so calls a preflop raise w/nothing, calls on the flop with some sort of runner runner heart draw? and then hits 7s on the turn and river.


I have never seen a limit game so loose.


next one may seem mild by comparison.

On the first one, making it 3 bets on the river was probably a mistake. I guess he could have had Ace of ClubsSeven of Clubs or 2's. Slightly tilted I suppose Confused

Yeah big mistake 3-betting the river on a two-pair board on hand 1.

It looks normal for 6 handed play, but in 9 handed play, it seems pretty loose.
