Doomswitch

But PokerRoom definitely has the doomswitch on me. Playing a $5 MTT, I pick up aces. It's t30 and I have about 1850. Some guy raises to 400 (!). I flatcall. I'm obviously getting it in on any flop. He has about 4K. He is clearly an idiot.

The flop comes T99, which is really good for me. There's almost no chance he has a 9 and he might be tempted to play some retarded draws hard here. He bets out and I shove. He snapcalls with JJ.

He must have known that I have the doomswitch. The turn is a third nine, which means he is drawing to one of two Js to beat me. Obv. he rivers a J.

His play is terrible. My hand is face up because anything less just pushes or folds.

Yet again I am caught by the retarded limp a big pair UTG play. There's nothing you can do about it when you have big cards and play them hard, but some tard has limped KK with 750 chips at t100. This time I had AK. Now, if I did this, they would flop an ace, of course, or the BB would just limp and then hit two pair (which is why you don't make this play). Nothing he did would have ended up any differently. If he raised, I would have shoved. So whatever.

You can't know they're doing this, because the same retard will limp JTs or KQ just the same.
