myxiplx shows [ As, Td ]high card Ace.
Wuermchen300 shows [ 6h, 6c ]three of a kind, Sixes.
Wuermchen300 wins $11.60 from side pot #1 with three of a kind, Sixes.
Wuermchen300 wins $99 from the main pot with three of a kind, Sixes.

Now Wuermchen300 had been playing aggressive & appeared to have stolen a few hands off me, but that really didn't excuse this...

Unfortunately comments weren't logged while I had no cash, which is a shame, the table in general voiced their amazement at my call.

Part 1, play like a donk complete.


STEP 2 - Make sure they still think you're a donk
=================================================
I rebought, played tight, stole a few blinds (players were giving me a fair bit of credit, god only knows why after the above hand). And then we hit this little beauty.

Big stack is very aggressive. Limps with 34o UTG, calls raises with any pair, bets out flop, turn & river chasing str & flush. Really bullying the table and getting paid off, bets the same way on a bluff, draw or strong hand.

And with me being a complete donk earlier probably gave me no credit at all for this hand.
