Last night I went down to a tourney that I have not been to in a while as there is at least 5 or 6 semi pros that work the game and felt that I needed some more practice. The best I have ever done in this tourney is 2nd place.
The game is 5k stack with a $20 5k add on and a 5k chip up for $20 at first break. There is unlimited buys until first break and blinds are every 20 minutes.
Last night started with 2 full ring tables. The table I sat at had 3 of the semi pros sitting at it and it was a tough table but really good play and I held my own. The second table had 6 rebuys in the first hour with one guy rebuying 3 times.
Right before first break the guy who bought in 3 times was moved to our table 2 seats to my left. First hand he was in was an all in play. He did this every other hand.
I desperately tried to stay away from him at all costs, but he was constantly stealing my blinds when in BB, UTG and UTG+1 with all in raises. I knew at times he had cards but other times he did not. The problem was that I could not catch anything to challenge him with. On top of that he took out 4 players before he got a small hand slap. I went out with just 2 bb left.
I have never been so frustrated and have never had a more unenjoyable time playing cards.
How do you deal with gamblers like this?
