Just like the girl from Queen of diamonds, I often get confrontations with players who are just gambling and don’t try to think too much about the game as it develops. See the video below for example. Ok, he could have been calling with an ace (or two diamonds) but the call on the river is just a formality. Don’t quite get what he is trying to achieve, except adding some $ to my bankroll. Btw, three players at the table, what the hell? Suddenly a couple players sat out or disappeared so I decided this would be my last hand to play. Fortunately that was a good choice.
