The rag trade

Every so often, I encounter the rag trade on PokerStars. That is, players who bet absurd amounts with nothing but rags, and then glory in showing them when everyone else folds. Last night, at one time there were at least two rag men at the table, and possibly three. On one hand, the most flagrant rag man was shameless enough to fold a pair of kings to the second most flagrant rag man, and then show them to the table. It's not a lot of fun playing against rag men; every now and then they'll actually have a hand. That's what did me in on hand 78; flagrant rag man #1 flopped two pair, and I ended up hitting the felt. I breathed a sigh of relief when the rag men left en masse, some hands later. I was able to make a comeback and end the night with a small profit.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 104 hands and saw flop:
 - 5 out of 13 times while in big blind (38%)
 - 4 out of 14 times while in small blind (28%)
 - 28 out of 77 times in other positions (36%)
 - a total of 37 out of 104 (35%)
 Pots won at showdown - 4 of 7 (57%)
 Pots won without showdown - 5

delta: $2,495
cash game no limit hold'em balance: $5,488,109
balance: $7,845,062
