Wow, why'd everyone jump down the guy's throat? He found a fish, and got him to play heads up for $300 and took money off of him. He doesn't deserve the hostility.

maybe others are hostile since they didn't get the fish on the line. I admit that I have done it. Why else play the crappy ass dollar SNG tourneys at Stars. Worse yet, they have watchers (or better name...losers). Do I really care about winning the 14 dollars for first. Nooooooo. I wait until someone chimes in with their opinion and whether I agree with them or not, I always jump down their throat. Just to incite an argument and hopefully get them to challenge me. I have done it and I have always beaten the challenger. Then I cash that money out immediately. I take myself out to a nice dinner on them.

first this guy shouldn't be ridiculed, he may be a donk but [censored] those observers can be so [censored] annoying.

true, you won't always win but it seems like every douchebag that is steaming and then offers a challenge is a terrible HU player.

Not to anyone in particular: people jumped down his throat b/c it's just bad form. I consider it bad form to goad someone into playing, and even if you think that's legit, I consider it bad form to run bragging about it after.

Besides - anyone who plays any SH or HU knows the 50 BB could easily have gone the other way.

What's the point here?

He didn't find a fish, he went to a goddamn fish store and sat there berating a fish until it got pissed off at him. It's a hustle; he knows it's a hustle; he called it a hustle. There's a reason hustlers get the [censored] kicked out of them.

Oh man...that just made my day. Made me laugh so hard.

I don't think OP did anything too bad. We are all hustlers to some degree. We know we're better than the opposition and sit with them anyway, knowing we're gonna crush them. The only difference is our guys play us without any prodding.
