Shark

Who has ever had this feeling of being in danger when a great shark is lurking to devour his chips?
I've already been in this situation, I decided to wait for a miracle, because the shark was devouring all my chips, with climbs all the time,That's when the Gods of the cards helped me and AA appeared, so I passed, and the shark came with everything, I won got a lot of chips
in the next hand, QQ appeared, I passed, the hungry shark coming again,he 83 he put 240k in on the table, so I saw it was my chance, to live, or die, so I paid ...
with this move, my chips were close to 500k, this time I devoured the shark that was on my table.
The shark's hand was 83 .... 240K ????
I thought, is he a shark, or an ass?
Well, this move was good for me, so whatever it is, I won.

That's just a very loose and aggressive player. Playing freerolls i've seen such players numerous times. They are able to build big stack (not least by bullying tight/passive players) but going all-in with garbage hands ruins them sometimes.

The one who dares wins! Of course we all know that AA, QQ, KK are a double edged sword!☺☺

if the guy was playing too many tables, perhaps at this moment he was a bit the same way, we decided to do the same on another table, often occurs, for example you are playing a turbo tournament you moved to another table after a series of wins and you get under the domination of sitting next to a similar stack, dude understands that most likely this size stack won't honestly and naturally, all in the first place do not look at small stacks, and there is already good luck, you can't judge by showdown, the opponent knew that the Donk is not going to fold and decided to crush the stack.

A shark will not play 83 unless he's got a pretty good read that you will fold to pressure. My guess, not a shark but some Very loose aggressive player that got lucky a few times

King James Bible
I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.
I have seen sharks with few chips and fish with many. It is not good for fools to live luxuriously; Even more ridiculous is the servant to dominate the princes.

that's a disgusting quote from a disgusting book.

If you are born a servant you have EVERY RIGHT to question and actively defy the authority of someone born into power. the servant isn't a fool for defying the prince, he is a valiant anarchist.

It depends on how the shark is playing.. If I see that he's a bully I like to push back.. That wat I can get him to back down where he respects my blinds and I can also play the marginal hands for a good price without him raising or 3 betting me of my hand.

The common aggressive style... I meet it every day.
It is the style of most tournament players.

But being under water with a real shark as in the picture would be cool.

I think he was not a shark but he is an extremely aggressive player and the way you killed him was the ideal to play against that type of player

I believe you have not read all my post,
when I spoke in shark, I was not referring to me, but to my adversary, we were playing a live tournament with a 100 dollar buyn, the opponent was with 750k in chips and stealing the chips from everyone on the table
This move he put chips on the table with only 83of, I had in my hands QQ
So I advise you to read all posts carefully before accusing anyone of doing spaw

see this post;;;;;;The difference is that this game was not freeroll, but a game with buyn of 100 dollar, live

poker is a game in the distance, and your victory must have a continuation
