His play is so bad, it's a joke. He has six outs on the flop, and he has to put me on a made hand there. I am just guessing he thinks I had AK/AQ. They always do!

There's worse though:

Uncalled bet (225) returned to FR Vessant

Against guy who must call with any two, 44 is more than good enough. I just raise, because I don't want to be called by SB and if he shoves, I'll fold.

The BB picks up AJs. It's just unreal. He must call but just happens to have a great hand. Still I'm ahead.

He needs runner runner, so it's gg him, right?

Runner.

You are very right, FR.

How about if you catch a rubbish bluff?

Dealt to FR Vessant [8c Ah]
antho46: calls 100

He is raising anything decent, so I know he has rubbish.

FR Vessant: raises 600 to 800

Sometimes I'll just check a raggy ace, but I figure this guy will fold. I've played vaaaaaiiiirrrryyy tight since the bubble, which started at t50, so he must think I'm some sort of nit.

BTW, Father Luke, note that even though we say you should loosen up later in the game, sometimes it's right to stay tight. If the opportunities don't come and relative stack sizes dictate tightness, don't feel you have to be over aggressive.

antho46: raises 2675 to 3475 and is all-in

Nah. I don't buy it.

FR Vessant: calls 2675

And he has QT. Obv. this is a terrible bluff. I think I did raise/fold once earlier in the game, but this is different: I'm in the big blind, raising his limp. I won't do that particularly light, and have only done it once or twice to him. I read him perfectly and now he's fuxxord.

Tell him, FR.

Still, I did beat him. I shoved with some raggy ace and he called for his whole stack with KJ and my hand held up. I guess his call was okay and I would have made it too.

At another table. WolfenAround is short again after sucking out three times all in.

Well, okay. He's basically gone and we're on the bubble. So when I pick up 99 against his blind, he's gone right?

Wrong. Five times behind me; five times he sucks out. Each time he's all in. I am gnawing the desk in frustration.

Still, I did go on to win the game:

FR Vessant said, "sigh"

Dramatic irony. FR is sighing because he is dominated, but he doesn't know he is going to suck out!

Bravo, FR. We love you bro.

Actually, I had also sucked out on the bubble. Some guy shoved 1.2K and I pushed over with AJ and 2.7K. I flopped a J. I felt a bit sad about it because it meant the suckout merchant who had luckboxed his way from 100 chips to respectability by getting his cards in bad and winning now made the money. I didn't even have the pleasure of knocking him out.

If you sixtable, as I did today, you don't generally know what happens to other players, but this was the last of my set, so I was more aware of what was going on.
