Flushing it away

So I'm playing okay but I'm not catching too many breaks. This won't be a bad beat post, but it does show the ups and downs:

I have to call. He's probably shoving very wide, and I have a decent hand.

Not the best of hands but I decided to shove and hope for the best.

moronello calls 160

This is actually okay for me. Bigger pot the times I suck out.

This is plain terrible. He has to call 60 more to win 720. Awful awful fold. Good for me though.

Might as well. K high and less than 4BB.

Next hand I have to fold 64 in the BB to a shove.

Meh. It's very close to even money.

MHIG so now I have a decent stack.


Next hand I fold JT on the button. It's pretty close, I think, and if I had another 200 chips, I might shove.

Now I would have been willing to just fold the next few hands and sneak into third, but this hand is too strong to fold.

He must have a superstrong hand. Shorty is pretty short and I have to have something decent to shove into both bigger stacks now I have a decent stack.

WTF. That's an awful awful call, even if he thinks I'm a fair bit wider than I am.

What makes it awful is not so much that he badly misreads my range, or badly overvalues his hand, but that he is risking becoming short for quite a small reward in equity. But fish do make these calls and I am way ahead.

WTF.

At almost exactly the same time, this hand:

That's just awful. I am not shoving 13BB with anything that A5s is ahead of.

Incredibly, this guy is making money.

WTF. That's probably why he's making money.
