A New Species of Poker Wacko--Needs a Name



Posted Wed Jul 16, 2008 9:04 pm GMT by lwestatbus
I've been noticing a new (to me) species of poker wacko that needs a proper name. This guy will sit down as the only player at one to five tables and wait for other players to sit down to create a short handed game at a full ring table. He'll then play aggressive-as-hell poker until he either takes a really bad thumping or the table gets up to 4 or more players. Then he's out of there to start the process over again.

There's a player called "JCrosby" on Stars who does this all the time at $2/4 FL ring games. What's really funny is that I've noticed another player stalking him. If I see Ol' JC at a table this other guy will show up and just badger him mercilessly. I've sat in on this game a couple of times and cleaned up when these two get into a furball and I've made a good hand.

Anyway, does anybody have a good species name for this kind of player?

I love these guys...they can build a roll in a second. I like to call them my buddies and always add them to my list. They play so predictable you can't help but stack them.

No name though...just a fish to me.
