Re: Question for Fossilman
I had become very short-stacked by the time that hand occurred, and as I recall, by the time I made my raise, if I had made a pot-sized raise it would have been a large fraction of my stack anyway.
I didn't feel too bad about the suckout, since it's not as if I misread the guy. He had not yet acted on his hand when I made my all-in move. In fact, I don't even think he had looked at his hand yet. So, it was just my bad luck to run into a hidden monster, and then my good luck to suck out on him.
I made a similar move later against Tony G when he made a raise to T500 (blinds were at 100,200), and I moved all-in with KK, being almost positive he would call. I had KK, and he did call with TT. T on the flop knocked me out of that event. I didn't feel too bad about that one either, just disappointed.
Later, Greg Raymer (FossilMan)
