do you bellyache when you double up through this guy or guys like him? i love the stupid flush chasers... they usually bust me early or allow me to go deep.

also, i'm not so familiar with the shootout format, but given his stack, his risk-taking may have been warranted, esp. on the turn. i think you really need to go for broke to get A LOT of chips so that you can be sure of getting to the final two. if he wins this, he's really set, if he loses it, he still has plently of chips to play with. gigabet has a lot to say about this, and imagine that he would approve of this play (at least on the turn).

anyway, tough beat.

When I have the nuts and someone overbets the flop and gets two callers... I'M ALL IN BABY!!
