What do you guys think?

I have played very few hands since villian arrived at table. Villian is playing lots of hands.

I dont see your cards here...dirty glasses again?

Assuming you have AK or AQ with a spade I like it all. If its weaker overcards I dont like the preflop raise, but the flop is fine.

AX Q

The rest of table thought I was nuts,this is reasonably standard, right?

The only cards you hate out there are sets or the A of spades, how bad can it be.

Yeah he had pocket 8's, I made my flush and all was good. What was interesting was the trash talking from some of the other players. I got some great advertising out of it. Another player kept going on and on about how I put I didn't even have a hand when I put my chips in. I waited until I flopped a moster against him and pushed. He called with TPTK against my set and went away.

Yeah, how dare you get money in with the best hand.

Heh. I've had people berate me (especially in PLO and PLO8 tourneys) when I get it in with the best hand, and I always tell them to go to twodimes and run the odds. Most of them don't. They just keep whining about how terrible my play was. And I laugh.

I like the play on the flop. It should also be amusing how much the rest of the table thought you had made a donkey play. Sounds like a pretty weak table, and I would try to take advantage of the fact later, which it looks like you did.

Its a $5 tourney, so nothing should surprise anyone. Was I surprised to see that your opponent had pocket 8's? Not at all. Was I surprised that you way over-bet the pot pre-flop? Not at all. Would I be surprised to hear that you made it to the final table in that tourney... :?
