First off, I'm glad Full Tilt finally got around to adding a bunch of draw games. Most of my money is on Full Tilt, but the only reason I would play cash games on Poker Stars was to play Badugi, 2-7, etc.

Anyway- I'm just playing micro stakes Badugi (.05/.10), so I only bring $20 to the table. It's just limit. Still, there are three guys who are bringing over $3000. One player has over $7000! Does anyone find this to be strange? Why would they do that? If they brought like $200, even $500 I wouldn't bat an eye- but this is just so absurdly huge...

Just to show off, really... Since it's limit, they're not really putting it a risk, so having $100 or $3k is the same.

I've started begging the 1000bb stacks for money .. don't expect anything, but I have seen some of the big stacks play really bad.

Gloating

I just wish I ever get enough money to leave $7000 in any poker account! Chances are any win or big prize pop like that ...I would have to withdraw it and use it else where!:eek:

Yep, I usually dont talk/type at tables, but this is so show-offish I think they have can be tilted with chat easily. I start chatting with them and see if they respond.

I haven't got any money directly, but if I see them make a bad play, I tell them to ship me some money instead of spewing it to the table, and that tends to rile them up.

Its a new game on Fulltilt, and they just want to try out the waters.
They are probably normaly no-limit players who are used to buy-in for maximum.
