It really is the worst. Mainly because you just get such poor play. Granted, I am playing low stake sit-n-go's to pass the time here and there and considering my live game stakes, I should raise it, but if I want to kill an hour, while waiting for a call or meeting, I do not want to commit any real money unless I have the time to dedicate. But oh god, there is such bad play out there.
And of course, I am here to complain about it.
I jumped into a quick 1 table $20 SNG with a bit of time to spare today. Figure, I will play tight, wait a bit and then jump on good hands. On the 4th or 5th hand I see QQ in the SB. Villain #1,who had just won a large pot doubles the BB to 60. Instead of pushing, I call, figuring if the flop comes low, I will push against him. Flop A-5-2, all hearts. My queens are D and S. Villain bets and I fold, figuring better to lose a small one if he is holding an A or hearts. Just a few hands later, after I realize that Villain #1 has been in every hand and being aggressive, I look down and AA on the button. He limps in, it is folded to me and I make it 135 to go. Folds to him and he calls. Flop comes 7d-3h-8c. V checks, I make it 280 to go. He calls. Next comes Jh. He checks, I go all-in for the rest of my chips, roughly 800 or so. He calls and shows 10-4 of hearts. So basically on the flop, he had nothing, a 10% max shot at winning if I have any real hand. On the turn he has a gutshot and a flush draw, but with one card to go, he still has only a 27% chance of hitting and yet he called both of these bets! Of course, as you may expect, the 9c comes on the river and he makes a straight.
I got to say, it is frustrating to play against people who just dont get the game. How could anyone who understands the game make those calls, even if was hoping to bluff me on the river, I went all-in on the turn, clearly indicating that I had something that I was willing to risk my whole stack for. I honestly do not see this type of totally reckless play when I go live, I feel like it resides more online. Either way, it sure is frustrating.
