Playing the man in sngs

[DonButtons]

Oh well, someone saw this hand, and pm'd me about it, so I digged up the tournament summary, and found the hand.

He supposely was watching me play, and wondered why I pushed here, the next hand just shows you his style, but its important to learn people's betting patterns related to their position and what not. I dont want to go into depth here but what do ya think? Do you try to to take advantage of a huge fish while you have the chance??

I do this as often as possible when I run into a Goldmine.

A Goldmine is defined as someone who habitually bluffs with almost no outs and lets everyone know because they bet the pot or more when doing so. When they actually have a hand they bet 0 or little. I see one of these maybe once a week. In ring games they were sooo profitable.

The funny part is that the majority of players do not adapt to the Goldmine's style. Although they fold less to the Goldmine's big bets than they do to others' big bets, they still do not realize it means the Goldmine has ace-high at best.
