A Pet Peeve of Mine
I've been playing the $25 NL over at Full Tilt, and I've discovered something that drives me INSANE. I'm in LP, dealt AT and I open raise to 4 BB. Flop comes 3-4-T, two hearts, and my ace is a heart. The BB, a dipshit of the highest order, min-bets a quarter into a pot of $3.10. With TPTK, I, of course have no respect for that and raise him to $1.00. He calls it. The turn card comes an offsuit 5. The pot is now $5.10, so what does he do? Min-bets another quarter. I come over the top for the pot and he folds. He reveals that he mucked Q7.
What the hell was the point of that? He calls a raise with nothing (but a draw to a draw), then folds to a raise with a draw.
Two hands earlier, I saw the most assinine example of min-betting I've ever seen. I watched the same donkey execute a min-bet on the turn (a quarter) into a $5 pot. The two players between him and I FOLDED TO IT!!!
You're giving up a $5 pot for a quarter?
I actually wanted to give a lesson, but as I write this, I have pocket kings and the douchebag decides to min-raise me to $0.50. I re-raise him to $1.25 and he folds.
I'm going to change my blog's tagline--Making my millions at the poker tables, one quarter at a time.
Stupidity--why does it bother me so?

I am so with you on that one...
The only reason I can think of that these morons do these things is because occasionally they work! Just like in your example where the morons folded.
They can't fold if you don't bet, right?
Exactly. The funny part, and this may be a reason it works, is that even if they SHOWED ME ACES, and I looked down at the Hammer, I'd STILL call 25 cents in a 5 dollar pot.
The exact opposite of my anti-ToP pot-odds argument.
