..but why I gotta get THOSE cards to do it 
I know it's random on FTP, but I think of it like a live game: The cards dealt are the same as they would've been. Anyway..
I love getting dealt the worst of hands in the worst positions and the flop comes that is perfect fit for my hand. Especially considering you'd have to be a moron to play those cards to begin with. I think nothing would put a good player on tilt then someone betting with something like 72o preflop and then hitting 772 on the flop. I see it all the time but I'm still not playing that sh*t |

| Yah, every once in a while, especially if i get bored at a NL table, i'll raise in mid position with a 7/2o or something like that, of course if no one has raised before me. Even if i get a caller, i bet the flop and usually take down the pot. If i win i like to show this hand, especially if its early so opponents think i may be a maniac. If i get called on the flop, then i have to slow down and usually fold. But one time i did this and flopped trip deuces and got paid off by 88 or something like that! |

72 has as much chance flopping 772 as AK has with AAK. The problem with a flop of 772 though is your opponent could have any pocket pair 8 or higher and you'd never believe what comes on the turn - 8 of diamonds! Mr Pocket Eights checks with the second nuts, you bet into him and he raises all in! Then when the river comes K of spades, it's a bad beat and you feel robbed. Aww.
If you get bored of the game you're playing - DO SOMETHING ELSE!! Do not start playing bad hands because once you run into situations like that of above, you'll find your level of play dramatically going down hill. Listen to music, play multiple tables, etc. |

sometimes you gotta play bad hands, and i like doing this to set up my opponents (at least the ones who are taking note)
its a good strategy...being unpredictable is absolutely important in NL/PL games |

Sometimes you do, but as soon as you do you're treading into dangerous territory, and that's all I was trying to warn. |
