Just had to laugh

Lately, there is a fish driving the action in a lot of the 8 games who has a tendency to call way too loose in all games. My friend sent me this hand history from yesterday to exemplify his ridiculousness:

So today in this pot against the same opponent who lost the previous pot with deuces, the previous hand was forefront in my mind when I went for the slight overbet bluff, hoping he had learned a lesson :) Me and my buddy both had a hearty laugh when he flipped over his hand.

Scott Seiver is an animal

The dude is relentless and gets my respect for making life miserable oop in big bet rounds. I feel like if i hit my straight or flush I have to check with only about pot sized bet left, scott will shove so often as a bluff but fold out some better hands if I shove. I considered c/r the turn all-in and in retrospect, I think it's a close decision.
