OK, so I'm playing a 1-table SNG:
- Down to the bubble (4 players),
- when I get crippled on a horrible suck-out and am down to $980 in chips.
- I'm OTB, and
- blinds are $300/600+ante so I'm basically all-in one of the next 3 hands.

Normally I'd push with ATC, but I decide to fold my Q6s. I'm tilting after being sucked out on so I'm just gonna let myself be blinded out. I know I'm f'd but I'll let the poker gods decide when.

But there's one idiot with no sense of what's going on, and here's what happened:

PokerStars Game #14685737568: Tournament #74454355, $25+$2 Hold'em No Limit - Level IX (300/600) - 2008/01/20 - 00:51:22 (ET)
Table '74454355 1' 9-max Seat #9 is the button
Seat 3: The_Venetian (5020 in chips)
Seat 6: jaxrwild_2x (3820 in chips) <<<---- sitting in 2nd place
Seat 8: Mr_Green51 (3680 in chips)
Seat 9: tomb1 (980 in chips)
The_Venetian: posts the ante 50
jaxrwild_2x: posts the ante 50
Mr_Green51: posts the ante 50
tomb1: posts the ante 50
The_Venetian: posts small blind 300
jaxrwild_2x: posts big blind 600
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to tomb1 [Qd 6d]
Mr_Green51: folds
tomb1: folds
The_Venetian: raises 4370 to 4970 and is all-in
jaxrwild_2x: calls 3170 and is all-in <<<---- sure, call a steal from the big stack and "defend" your Q8o !!!!
*** FLOP *** [5c Js 4h]
*** TURN *** [5c Js 4h] [Qh]
*** RIVER *** [5c Js 4h Qh] [3s]
*** SHOW DOWN ***
The_Venetian: shows [5s Qs] (two pair, Queens and Fives)
jaxrwild_2x: shows [Qc 8d] (a pair of Queens) <<<---- out in 4th place!
The_Venetian collected 7740 from pot
tomb1 said, "wow"
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot 7740 | Rake 0
Board [5c Js 4h Qh 3s]
Seat 3: The_Venetian (small blind) showed [5s Qs] and won (7740) with two pair, Queens and Fives
Seat 6: jaxrwild_2x (big blind) showed [Qc 8d] and lost with a pair of Queens
Seat 8: Mr_Green51 folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 9: tomb1 (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet)

So the idiot hands me $45.00 and I go out on the next hand of course. Wow, just wow....

Some people have no concepts of space and time. Well done Tom.

[Irish Se7en]

So who sucked out on you?

There's a reason why these two players made the moves they did.

Part of poker is letting other people make mistakes. This is classic!

I keep reading and re-reading the HH and can't for the life of me figure out what he was thinking there! Was he a maniac for the whole tourney Tom?

[Dr Lecterr]

BEAUTIMOUS!!!! That's an unexpected few bucks.......very nice

[jojobinks]

based on that sharkscope screenshot, i guess the_venetian has moved in quite a bit so far. the BB called figuring Q8 is not so bad against the top 50%.

bad call, but that's what he was thinking.

[osumike11379]

LMAO....dontackular!!!

[ipgyst]

Evidently, the urge to "defend his big blind against the chip leader" was greater than the urge to "make the money".

I like having people like that at my poker table.

[dad604]

Isn't it nice to play with people like that?
