Two sick exit hands from consecutive tournaments for me this afternoon;

1. You might wonder what I'm doing getting all-in pre with JJ, so I'll explain. The villain is a complete maniac who has been relentlessly using his big stack to bully the table since I got moved to his table. He is entering every single pot, usually with a 3x raise and shoving on almost all flops. The villain was a chip leader with 6 times as many chips as second place when I arrived, but I've already doubled off him once and moved up to second on the leaderboard, well ahead of third. Nobody has dared take him on except me. Then this happens;

    In the first one Gary, it does look like just a cooler IMHO. If you were in his shoes with that chip stack would you fold 66?? I know what you are saying about waiting to trap him and I totally agree that this is the best way to take this type of player on sometimes. You got your money in good on both occasions so in the long term you will come out on top but you were just really unlucky on these two mate.

    Oh, and the 2nd one is blatantly obv...........aussie09 was dealing off the bottom of the pack!!!!  :))

    Hand 1 - I'm pleased to report that even though the villain was left first place with 27K chips vs the rest of the field having 4k or less (1500 starting stack), he still failed to take down this tournament finishing 3rd.

    As for hand 2, as soon as I saw Aussie was at my table I knew there would be fireworks, I wasn't dissappointed. The only surprise was that he wasn't all-in on this hand too.
