Default Poker game

I have literally never seen this much action in a poker game. I was playing a 1-3 NL game, live, and I was sitting next to a stack of $10k, and behind him $7k. I saw someone call for about $2000 preflop with KQ.

Sounds like if you had enough money there was profit to be made!

Where were you playing Moo. I find this a little hard to believe as most casinos limit buyins to $300 or $400 at 1-3NL.

Moo has an acute medical condition that makes it impossible for him to lie.

I've played in $100 capped games with folks sitting at the table with $10K stacks. Then again, that was $2/$5 and $5/$10, but still.

Can't tell you where it was, and it did have a capped buy in.

I posted it because it was so hard to believe. Apparently they'd been playing for 2 days when I got there.

it happens sometimes. not often, but it does.

some rooms have uncapped buyins and for some unfathomable reason people will sometimes buy in for 10k or something.

the money isn't really even in play at that point, obviously.

Sounds juicy or a death trap

More and more card rooms are starting to allow unlimited buy-ins on the $1-$3 games; the blinds usually dictate the action anyway.

Well you definitely don't want to be sitting between the guy with 10K and 7K.
