Sometimes it is o.k. to lose a battle if you win the war. Playing in a ridiculously loose 3/6 game this morning before the tournament watched stupid play get lucky time after time. Basically there were several "any two cards, specially suited" players in the game. Saw some really raggedy cards win, like 8/3 suited, and tried to play only solid hands. The player to my immediate left was super loose and super aggressive, raising most pots, straddling, calling light. So, me playing J/J, he raises, and super loose and aggressive guy calls. Flop comes A/A/K. I bet, they both call. Turn is another ace. I bet again, both call. River is blank, i bet, they both call. Guy to my left has 8/8, loose guy has K/8 off. He takes a nice pot, but the good news is a daily morning promotion known as "waking dead" which is $576. Qualifying hand is aces full of 8's or better with both cards in your hand playing. The game is stopped to pay us two "losers" half the money. Sweet.
