Playing 2/5 NL in New Orleans Saturday night after getting knocked out of the donkaments.

Call $20 raise from the BB with 77 in 4-way pot. Flop K76. I check player 1 bets $120, Mexican gangster-looking guy calls, player2 calls, I shove. Player 1 and gangster both call and both cover me by $200. Turn 6. Player 1 shoves, gangster calls. River K. Gangster scoops up huge pot with KJ.

[X] 98% equity when money went in.

Besides not wanting to get my ass kicked, at this casino calling with KJ is probably +ev. Heck the other guy called me with A6. David Sklansky owes me $980 imo.

I'm already back in Houston...but you'll know who to avoid, if anyone, after about 5 minutes. Even the local grinders are usually fish.

Yea Ive noticed that the 2/5 is just as bad as the 1/2, because the "pros" are bigger calling station morons than the tourists at 1/2 are alot of times.

FWIW it was a local grinder that called with A6 cause he "put me on a draw."

yeah and when they call you down with bottom pair it's because they always put you on AK when you raise preflop

I just got back from playing live poker.
I got up from the table twice-- once to use the restroom and once to check my players card in because I forgot.
The bad beat jackpot was hit twice at my table (with the same hands and the same guy losing both times)-- once when I was up using the restroom and one when I was checking in my players card.

I missed out on about $300.

Definitely rigged.
