It's a funny old game

Here's an example of how quickly a cash game can turn around for you, no matter who the opposition.

I was in this table with a spewy fish and was looking to stack him before two decent regs at the same table got there before me. Anyway, I was busy on another table/looking at the ceiling cursing my luck etc. and then I look back to see fishy with 4x the stack he had a minute ago.

"Where the **** did you get that??" was my response. The two regs had just been stacked! Two hands, one after the other and the second one is a doozy you don't see too often.

So there you go. If it can happen to him, it can happen to you.

GL at the tables.

This is where he writes "DOUBLE KILL" and leaves the table then goes on a heads up table and spews away the winnings in 2 minutes.

That is some lucky dude. But the way the fish played the river on the second hand was bad. The only hand that I find that you would win against is a flush and I do not see that fish doing it with anything lower than JJ. (But then again, I don't know enough about this fish).

Haha yes, I can also imagine the two regs faces after that!

I wasn't hitting any cards to relieve him of this large stack unfortunately.

Actually, I thought the fish unwittingly played the second hand well, checks the turn and allows the reg to make a hand.

You think fishy knew he made his full house by then?

Yes, he did play it well without even knowing. But fish always slowplay/bet small with their monsters in my experience. I don't think he knew that he had a full house. It's hard to put him on a full house on the river at the end. AA, KK and JJ would have bet the flop hard to protect against the flush (if the person knows basic strategy). I think he was just trying to get value hoping that he had a hand he was willing to call with and fortunately, he did.

These idiots don't actually think in the real sense of the word. He slowplays because that is how fish play big hands (he wants to check raise), then shoves river because he run out of time and it is all he knows how to do (think freerolls).
