Don't really know if the guy knew what was coming or not. VA Poker is dead right if it is a live game - pop the guy 3 or 4 times his raise and he is gone. The problem with FT is that it doesn;t matter - I pretty much am sure that had he raised a $1,000 or even all in he gets the same call and the fella gets the same reward.

Bad moves simply get rewarded on FT and good moves get punished - period.

The classic is when someone shoves all in to a potential set (e.g.,you have A 7 - he has K - 3 and the flop comes K - 5- 6). The guy with the sucky K shoves (a horrible play by any standard) -you tremble and call and as soon as you do the K hits the turn. Peace - out. Never fails. Or the classic I got the underpair - fok I'll shove. You have A-K, they have J-J. You call pre-flop raise, flop comes A - K rag and bam - tehy instant shove. You call - turn of course is J. And it please understand - I don't think it's just poor old eldave - I jsut sit at my computer and call out the rapings for all the players as they come. Keep track - you will see that poor play is paid off.
