Last evening while playing in a $1-2, 5-max HE game at Planet, I noticed a very mouthy player criticizing someone just about every hand whether he was in the hand or not. IMO, I am an above average HU player and didn't think this player could beat me HU. I challenged him to a $250 freezeout match at a considerably higher $5-10 limit. My challenge was not for ego purposes, but to hopeful take advantage of IMO, a weaker, critically cocky and proud opponent.
He accepted and as the first hand was being dealt I noticed he only sat down with $112 to my $250.
I won the first hand then sat out, asking him to put up the agreed amount. He refused and started his mouthing off again. I was nothing but cordial to my opponent in all my conversations. I decided to resume play and when he was down to around $25, I sat out again, said goodbye and left.
I'm not one to hit and run, but I felt that was all my opponent was willing to lose and he was now down to 5 big bets to my 33 big bets.
At that point I felt the game was not favorable to me with my comparable large stack to his.
