    So I'm playing at bookmaker poker. I was playing in one of their tournaments, it was a $750 guaranteed rebuy type thing. Not for major money.

    I was pretty deep stacked. I had about 22,000 chips at the time, and I was in the big blind. At the time, the blinds were 125/250, I believe.

    There was a raise, and a call, in front of me. I had 5-2 offsuit. I realize it's garbage, but I was trying to make a squeeze play. I raised it pretty big.

    The initial raiser folded. And the small blind called.

    The flop came 973 rainbow. Small blind checks, and I bet. He called.

    The turn is another 9. He checked. I bet again. He calls again.

    The river is an ace. He leads out and bets 250. The absolute minimum. I immediately move all in, for like 10,000 chips. Praying he will fold.

    Without hesitation, he calls me. Here's where it gets insane. He had 46!!! He had six high!!! His hand ended up winning.

    How he called I will never know.

    He was one of the following:

    Drunk and stupid.
    A bot working for the poker site.
    Somehow able to see my cards.

    In all my years of playing poker, I've never seen anything like this.

    Thank you for letting me rant.
    How you go all in I will never know. Love playing online, so many bluffers, they think by betting big you will fold, I call alot and win. Youre silly for playing like that.

    Everything happening before that is irrelevant.

    But I will take under advisement the idea of only raising if I have a quality hand in pre-flop. Thanks.
    The point is you made a big bet with 5 high.

    Thats similar to the call that blew the lid off the absolute poker superuser deal.

    But you said the guy went out in 9th so obviously he cant see hole cards.

    It was only $6. Plus a $6 rebuy, and $6 add-on. $18 total. No big deal.

    It's nice to see that there are some people that understand the point of this thread.

    BernardMadoff, not so much.

    I was giving this hand a little more thought.

    I believe it was just some kind of misclick/newbie thing going on.

    If he was indeed a superuser, he would have shoved on the river, knowing I couldn't have called.

    I'm just going to chalk it up to a horrific player/drunken misclick, etc.
