Man oh man. This one was BADnormally I can blow off someone hitting a three outer or whatever. But this was ridiculous. Here's the setup. $10+1 SnG (2 table) on Poker Stars. I doubled up early and ran over the table from then on. My table image is aggressive, but the hands that I've had to show down were good (I won 3 out or 3 showdowns, and took down 24 pots without showing up to this point) The guy that raises all in on this hand had been raising all in nearly every hand for about 6 hands now. The first time he showed AA, and hadn't shown a hand since. The second time, I folded QQ, I raised, he reraised all in. Since I didn't know that he was planning on doing this every hand, I laid it down. If I had called him, this post probably wouldn't be being written. Anyway, here it is.PokerStars Game #1168493778: Tournament #5090272, Hold'em No Limit - Level VIII (200/400) - 2005/02/04 - 13:46:07 (ET)Table '5090272 1' Seat #5 is the buttonSeat 1: littlewang (2025 in chips) Seat 2: System 5 (7329 in chips) Seat 3: GoBucks132 (3855 in chips) Seat 4: thefakenews (7755 in chips) Seat 5: jchong78 (3998 in chips) Seat 6: LZVandy (2038 in chips) littlewang: posts the ante 25System 5: posts the ante 25GoBucks132: posts the ante 25thefakenews: posts the ante 25jchong78: posts the ante 25LZVandy: posts the ante 25LZVandy: posts small blind 200littlewang: posts big blind 400*** HOLE CARDS ***Dealt to thefakenews [Td Ah]System 5: folds GoBucks132: folds thefakenews: raises 800 to 1200jchong78: raises 2773 to 3973 and is all-inLZVandy: folds littlewang: folds thefakenews: calls 2773*** FLOP *** [9c As Ts]*** TURN *** [9c As Ts] [Jc]*** RIVER *** [9c As Ts Jc] [7c]*** SHOW DOWN ***thefakenews: shows [Td Ah] (two pair, Aces and Tens)jchong78: shows [Ac 8s] (a straight, Seven to Jack)thefakenews said, "noooooo"jchong78 collected 8696 from pot*** SUMMARY ***Total pot 8696 | Rake 0 Board [9c As Ts Jc 7c]Seat 1: littlewang (big blind) folded before FlopSeat 2: System 5 folded before Flop (didn't bet)Seat 3: GoBucks132 folded before Flop (didn't bet)Seat 4: thefakenews showed [Td Ah] and lost with two pair, Aces and TensSeat 5: jchong78 (button) showed [Ac 8s] and won (8696) with a straight, Seven to JackSeat 6: LZVandy (small blind) folded before Flop

Yeah I was about to make a post about how I hate Poker Stars now also (slightly in jest of course). Was just playing a $5 2 table SnG. Blinds 100/200 I'm 6th with approx. 1300. I get dealt pocket queens. Guy before me raises to 600. I figured him as a tight passive player who will lay down to a bigger bet. I raise all-in figuring to take down the pot right there. 1 guy who had been going all in on draws and hitting them called. The original raiser folded like I thought he would. The caller turns over 77 so I'm happy that I'll be moving up to at least 3rd in chips. Flop and turn are rags for both of us. But god bless him...the river was a 7 and I'm out in 14th. I would have screamed but that would have woken up my wife.
