Tip from a pro

[ScottyP431]

5 handed PP 15-30. I just sat down and have no notes on the player in question, but in the last hand he called a capped turn with a gutshot and hit it, beating 2 sets. He is to my immediate left. Wheeeeee. We will call him "el douchey"

I recieve 2 black kings on my first hand in the BB. El Douchey raises and its folded back to me (incredible i know). I 3 bet and he caps. The flop is 229 rainbow. I check raise him, he 3 bets and i cap it. the River is a J completing the rainbow. I lead, and again it is capped. River is another J. i lead, he raises, and for some reason something deep inside of me says "hey big fella, why don't you slow down there". I call. He rolls KJ. Not the worst beat ever, and since i expected it from a player like him i put it out of my mind. These things happen. Your ok with it, im ok with it. After folding my SB i look down into the chat box and notice this little ditty from El douche

"Hey (insert PP name), tip from a pro: overplaying kings is one of the number one ways to lose money in this game."

Other than his grammatical accuracy (how often do you see a colon used correctly in a PP chatbox), the audacity of his comment is what catches my eye. I file this little nugget away.

Jump ahead about an hour,we are now 6 handed, but the douche is still on my left, and is now up about 2.5 g's, luckily no more of it mine, but he has put a brutal beat on just about everyone else at the table.

I am the button and am dealt the 78 of diamonds. It is folded to me, and having not played a hand in quite some time try to cash in on my image with a steal. El douchey, however, is having none of it and 3 whacks out of the SB. The BB tosses it and i call, mainly for spite. With this guy there is also a chance my hand is good, but "spite was said".

The flop comes A of spades and 56 of diamonds. El douchey checks, and i bet. He raises, and that voice from before says "just cap it", and I comply, as i dont deal well with peer pressure.

The turn, the 9 of diamonds. El douchey immediately fires. After putting on a new pair of shorts, i raise, and the pot is eventually capped. The river brings the 9 of spades, and El douchey leads again. Capped.

I fold my next hand and see El douchey is back at the chat box discussing, somewhat critically, my play of the last hand. I feel bad for the guy, given the fisting i just gave him, so I type
