Hello all! I'm new to this site, so please be gentle, but I just had to tell this one!
Ok, I am sitting at a table at Cripple Creek, CO a couple nights ago in a $2-$5 game. I bought in for $40 and stretched it to abut $100. Unfortunately, I had three loose players to my immediate left. There was this one guy that really was irking me though, sitting on the third seat to my left. He is that guy, you know the one who has absolutely no poker ettiquette at all. When he came in, he came a blazin'! On his first 4-5 hands, he basically played whatever he had and raised at every opportunity, regardless of what he had. When he raised, he slammed his chips on the table. When the showdown came, he threw his cards on the table with a total disrespect for everyone. He bought in for $100 and it looked like he doubled his money by playing this way after 10 hands or so, buying each pot or getting lucky on the river. We all knew he was full of BS, but few challenged him, and those who did would pay dearly when he rivered a straight with pocket 2-3.
I made it my mission to take all this man's money.
Finally, my moment arrived. I was dealt pocket 2's. I was the dealer. Jackhole (that's what I called him since he beat my pocket 10's with one Jack in the hole), raised, as usual, but I called, just limping in. Normally, I would hesitate to call a pre-flop raise with 2-2, but I was in position and all had folded except he and another woman. On the flop was Q-5-2. Jackie bets $5, I rasie to $10, the lady folds, and he reraises me to $15. At this point, I got too caught up in wanting to beat this guy, so I re-raised to $20, he made it $25 so I rounded it out at $30, which was the max. On the turn, another Queen.
This has me worried. I made my full house, but with the queens out there... Anyway, as expected, he bets $5. At this point, I decide that I had invested enough money in the pot, so I decide to just call. For some reason, this really angered him, and he began chastizing me for not having any balls. This in turn angered me. On the river a King came.
He checks.
At this moment, I knew I had him beat. Why would this guy, after all that check a King on the river? That told me that the best possible hand he had was three Queens, and he may have tought I had Cowboys. So I bet $5, saying "I got your balls right here". He raised, I re-raised until the bet was at $30. I called him, so he had to show first. He turns over Q-3 offsuit. I just about fell out of my seat! So, I said "Well, your trips beat my trips...too bad the board paired" and turned over my deuces for the 222QQ full house. This did not go over well on him.
But it gets better.
For whatever reason, he decides to move to an open seat to the RIGHT of me!!! Oh joy! Now, I got to act after him!! A few hands later, I had pocket Queens, and to make a long story short, took him for another HUGE pot with trip Queens. What was he holding that time?? You guessed it, Q-3 offsuit.
By the time the night was over, Jackhole dropped three bills and went home broke. I cashed out with $340.
Mission accomplished!!

Yup, playing with idiots can be rewarding, but they can also make your bankroll go through big swings. There's a couple people I play with who do this--cap preflop with 58s and they make it work which is the craziest thing! Usually tho they wind up winning a good deal but then manage to lose it ALL by the end of the night. Just play good hands and let him do all the betting/raising for you when you got those flushes and trips.

Maybe he was a San Fransisco busboy.
