Default Re: Rebuilding a Burned Bankroll

I loved it when Tongni was at my table. He gives a LOT of action with 7high, no draw, or whatever. Apparently he's moved up to 30/60, which is surprising. I had a real hard time imagining him as a winning player, but there is some method to his madness. He drives players crazy. Like the hand he posted, the villian probably knows him and knows to press his draw this hard against him because there is chance all he has to do is get Q-high to fold. Tongni's style creates a lot of action... and results in "bad beats" like this. To be honest, I'm not sure if it is "style" or "tilt", but whatever it is, it creates hands with a lot of action. I imagine if he stumbles across the correct ratio of madness/value-capping, it could work. I was very surprised when I discovered he posts here. When I learned that, I diagnosed him as understanding TAG theory, but not quite getting that you need to fold sometimes. I'm curious how he does and his explanation for his....style.
