OK. I was I'm a hand the other day I was on a poor run. Having quadrupled my deposit (only $25) up to $100 I sat down happy to keep on at the same level $5 SnGs. Then for some reason (I really dont know why) I just started to play a cash game.... but I brought half my bankroll to the table $50. I didnt get a hand for age's so when I landed A7 on the button with no raises or calls I put in a small raise, I had a caller (BB) Flop come 5 8 8 I thought this could be a tricky pot but decided to give it a small bet as it was checked to me. I got called! SO when the turn come K the other player bet 50c in to a pot of $10ish????? (I didnt like that as I think its just a bit lame) so with out really thinking about what he might have i re-raised him (just due to the silly little bet) to my supprise he called. The river come 10he checks again So I look at the comunity cards 5 8 8 K 10 and just think to my self "he hasnt got anything" SO I bet again 2/3 of the pot approx $8 to my supprise he go's All in! So now im thinking............. I've only got A high.i've tried betting and hes still here?.........hes done some stupid little bet but checked twice?................I'm sure he has nothing but I only have a A.
Now I still cant work it out but I called him knowing I could only beat a bluff. When the cards come over we both had A 7 I still cant belive I put so much at risk knowing I could only beat a bluff. But find it even harder to belive some one else done the exact same thing with crap cards? I know Im crazy but I still called him a few choice names.....at least i was the aggresser
What do you make of that? FOOLS IDIOTS FISH PLUMBS DUNCES WACK"O"S Come on let me have it/........lol
Some times I even shock / stun myself when I do things like this.

LOL at risking half your roll on a big hero call with ace high! I prob would have just checked behind the river and wouldn't be suprised to see him turn over some small PP or a retardedly played A8. The min donk bet is interesting, i found the fish alot of the time their doing it with total air or with the nuts, his line makes no sense at all here though

playing A7 you bound to lose it all real soon, Ace rags is kinda a garbage hand, I usually toss them every time, A7 get you in big trouble if an A flops, but we all play our own way
Both players thought correctly that the other one had nothing, at least no 8, and tried to buy the pot.
Lucky you to find such an idiot. These are the types of people in a multi-way pot that when the board has a A - T straight with no other possible hands to win, they shove all in and make everyone pay a huge rake with the pot being split with several players, kinda like in your situation.
For me, both of you are crazy. When your opponent goes all-in after a check-raise, for me it's a risky play but good enough, so he has realized your weakness. After check in river, your best action should be check. After his check-raise, I had probably folded ... you were facing a King, an Ace+higer, a 5 .... but well ... this time you were lucky. Not a good call for me. In similar situations u'll win 1 of 10

Hi!!
1. Don´t gamble. 1/2 bank in a table? never more. 2. Check/call in turn and river if the stupid continue mini-betting. Check/fold if he do a normal bet.
