[QUOTE="strims, post: 801578, member: 32258"]
I think you are trying to rationalise the irrational.  Looked at in poker terms a raise of 42x BB is normally ridiculous (I say normally because there are times when this play may be worthwhile depending on the history between the players and the general play at a table, indeed, in this instance it wasn't a ridiculous play as the villain got paid off), looked at from the perspective of an inexperienced player or someone who just wants a bit of fun, it wasn't a bet of 42x BB, however, but a raise of a paltry 84c.  The initial call is also understandable from an inexperienced player, again because of the trivial amount involved - if he hits he's going to clean up.  Not calling the post flop bet also makes sense if he got no part of it - disregard the pot odds he was getting because he probably doesn't understand the concept and would not look at things from this perspective.
          These are not plays that anyone with any experience is going to make, but I make the point again that you are wasting your time if you are trying to work out what was going on, because in poker terms it was simply wacky play by people who either, (i) don't know any better, or (ii) couldn't care less anyway due to the tiny amounts involved.  
          I don't think you're a complete jerk, but just accept it for what it is - an average day at micro limit tables.
