You are tight against him?

i had actually been pounding on him a little and taking some pots from him. he had been making some laydowns to me not really the other way around. he had been absolutely crushing the rest of the table though.

He is a good player?

[/ QUOTE ]
yes, i think he is probably better than me.

Well, maybe he's picked up on your attitude and he's been planning on taking this pot away from you the minute he saw your first bet.

you are exactly right but for a different reason than i think you originally thought. i think he found Aces and thought "haha i am finally gonna pick this fucker off!"

i think he wasn't tangling with me b/c he knew i wouldn't race him preflop (i too had a deep stack) whereas the rest of the table was pretty much preflop raise/post flop push poker and he was salivating and gobbling them up.
