So I am playing in this tournament and we are getting down to the last 50 players from nearly 200. I am running good and have created a pretty good stack. I have a really good and tight table image. A new player gets moved to my table and sits to my right. Looking at him I can sense that he is a creative and aggressive player. The first time we are blind vs blind he pushes all in on me. The blinds are 200,400 and I have about 22K in chips. I think to myself that this is a pretty weak move in this stage of the tournament but I look down at 7,2o and just fold. The same scenario happens after a few orbits. I look down at A,9o and decide to show my fold and tell him "I'm sure you got me beat. Nice hand." Again the same scenario happens and this time the blinds are 400,800 and we have nearly the same chip amount. I look down at A,Jo. I turn to him and say, "Are you just going to keep doing this internet move to me every time?" I was pretty sure that I had him beat but I still wanted some kind of read. He looks at me kind of wide eyed and says, "No, well we are in the casino." That's when I say call. He has Q,2. I end up hitting 2 pair and have him covered by 200 chips.
Sometimes it is good to show a good fold to a maniac so he thinks he can keep running over you.
