probably don't push if he wasn't short stacked, but then again I probably just lose more on my set over set. What bothers me here is that I was setting this dunk up for the kill and then I get cold decked!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is the worst of the group. This guy is a suck-out artist and he keeps on getting me with crappy hands like this. Not sure how i kept from breaking my monitor when I saw his hand.
