#1-why you would put the entire years win on the line in 1 game.

#2-then play like a total pussy.

ok your a GAMBOOOLER i understand that but then why play a rock tight game? you're obviously not the gambler you thought you were. he tries to say everyone was playing tight praying on the weak spots but i doubt this was the case...the real pros (im sure) were praying on the weak spots AND the tight spots as well just in different ways.

granted my $1000 buy in game is not this big BUT it is the biggest game in the casino i play in and many tight 10-20 or 15-30 limit players try to take a shot. there are some extremely loose spots in this game but i in no way let that deter me from absolutely beating up on the tight spots or other big stacks I PLAY MY GAME AT ALL TIMES (for better or worse) this patri dude was in wayyyy over his head and got used...just like the limit players that take a shot at my game. it just makes no sense. i would never play in a game where i couldn't be myself.
