I moved this to player talk because the discussion will unlikely turn strategy oriented.

I love going to limits where stakes don't matter to me and blowing on steam. My favorite is either $1 to $3 buy-in SNGs or the 2c/4c Fixed limit games at PokerStars. the 2c/4c game is the most fun because those players take the game so serious calling each other donks and getting all int odds. It is so amazingly humorous. Usually I'll sit down with $5K just so they quickly start including me in their most intriguing of conversations lol

Another thing that used to be funny is a site I competed at regularly at their highest stake SNG $200+$15 at the time, the site was small and there was a core group of about 10 of us who were all beating this game because the typical tournament would have 5 of us + 4 newbies or shot takes. Pretty much these players contributed money and we played each other with added prize pools. Also there was a weekly and monthly TLB so the extra value we got from this also made it worth it. Anyways, One night it was slow and we were waiting quite some time for the 9 handed game to get going so we decided for 5 of us to all jump in a $1 + $0.10 SNG where we had a $30 prop each to the winner on which of us finished the highest. One of these $1 players responds with OMG you guys should leave us alone and started going off. It was hillarious because he seen we were taking the game serious and decided to database us, and then realized within a few minutes that 5 of the players in his $1 + $0.10 SNG were on in the sites top 10 SNG players according to both the weekly, monthly and annual SNG leaderboards. That tables conversation was hillarious and me and another guys stalked him for a couple days, no matter what table he would sit at, if we had a moment available we'd wait and grab last seat. It was mean but they way the guys chatted was so comical I used to save it and MSN it to one of the guys. Eventually I realized it was mean so a couple days into it we stopped.

haha, gotta love the low limits... even though at this rate i will never be able to get to that level.

on the other hand... it is amazing to see what most will call all in with...
