2NL is a crazy place

Because I wasn't feeling top notch yesterday, I decided to sit down at a few 2NL tables at Pokerstars. I only played some 500 hands and made a little profit, but nothing big.

One hand did remind me 2NL is like the bottom of the food chain in poker.
There is an UTG raise to 4BB and I make the call OTB with pocket 8's. The BB decides to reraise to 10 BB. Now the initial raisers shoves (he had about 60 BB), and because I'm thinking at least one of them has to have my 8's beat, I fold. The BB calls the shove.
Well, UTG had a pair of deuces and the BB had KQo...
UTG's deuces held up and he takes the pot.

I did remember players at this level tend not think too much and some even forget earlier streets in a hand: in a 3-way pot, I'm drawing to a flush that I make on the turn. I decide to check it and simply call the bet. On the river, I make a donkbet of 2$ hoping at least one of my opponents is foolish enough to call me and sure enough one of them makes the call.

You see a myraid of extreme styles at these tables: übernits with stats like 4/1/0.2 and wannabe bullies with stats around 35/25/6. I don't mind the first group at all. Most of the time they'll only stay in the hand with the absolute nuts. The second group is a bit more frustrating: you know they'll get stacked sooner or later, but they raise so many pots, you can't really call (because of position). Actually, raises get no respect at all. Raising to 4 or 5 BB has no effect: you'll still end up in a 4-way pot a lot of time.

Well, I want to pick up another 10-15 BI at this stake and then I hope I'll never have to look back.
