lol, I just read your update in post #1, I had forgotten about the "Wulfman sees dead people" comment/discussion.
That was funny, I was being sarcastic because I had seen a lot of people near that time saying similar things and I was getting kinda annoyed. When I get annoyed, I tend to get sarcastic. To your credit Wulfman, I really appreciated how you resolved that with me and as always... "don't worry about it"... :-)
A recent example of that type of comment that bugs me is the guys that limp/call off a large portion of their stacks with very weak hands and then after the cards are played (and they win) says "I knew he was weak" or something similar.
Now the guy that did that is a very nice guy from what I can see so I do not think there was anything nasty or negative meant but really, you knew I was weak? :-)
Specifics: Me in the BB (@ 100/200) and I had only 5BBs, so the villian (nice guy) limps the SB, so I shove with another 800pts or so with Ac2c. The SB insta-called with 22...... Of course the case 2 hits and I am dead to running straight that does not hit.
So, I would say this, not questioning the call at all (to be honest I cannot remember how much of his stack was the 1000 chips) but either way, the flip is OK I guess.
My concern is more about the limp in SB and the call of all in, if you knew you were playing for all of the chips, the correct play is to shove and give you two ways to win. A call with 22 is nothing more than a prayer that I do not hit ANY pair......... 22 is not strong against ANY hand. His best case outcome was exactly what happened that I had a 2 in my hand.
Anyway, my point was that people saying they "knew" what the person had especially with little to no information and short stacks is silly.
Just a personal pet peeve.. :-)
