Easy Chips

When you're playing NL Hold'em against someone who has no idea how to play, he may push something like Q5os, thinking that "it might hit something"... and it just might.

When you're playing lowball against these kinds of players - and have previously identified them as such - it could instead look a little like this:

He stood pat with a 5-high straight?
Foolish mortal — I wonder if he even knew which game he was playing

Actually, both of my opponents demonstrated that they didn't know, as they had been consistently drawing to high hands before - which is why I was happy to cap the pot against them as soon as I had something as decent as 9-low.

And technically, an A-5-4-3-2 would be considered an A-low in 2-7 Triple Draw. I assume my converter erroneously displayed it as an ace to five straight.

I'm ashamed of myself for getting that wrong. I can't count how many times I pointed out that exact thing on stream

Got to love these guys. When villain x-r flop its always bit of lets hope its not set. But nice surprise when villain shows that ♦
