So Idiot Boy first calls off 15% of his stack with a limp in, then calls 2/3 of it off with 6-5 off...this dude would fit in great at our Monday night game at Dino's!

This is probably the second biggest hand, and was pretty much a snap-call, if you can believe it. Here's the thing about Ange: She loves to overbet pots with overs, and her showing those 6s helped me make this an instant call, especially after not raising with any pair after my SPFR. Taking notes of betting patterns is key here!
