There are two types of good player in SNGs. The good poker player (who you're all talking about) and the multi-monster. The multi-monster may also be a good poker player, but he hasn't got time to be fancy and he learned a long time ago that with many tables going he needs to be rock solid with his stack early. And I mean ROCK solid. He is good because he can play 24 tables with positive ROI. His $$/hr is great and he can do it even if the bubble is at a ton of tables, and he's ICM or 9 handed in others. This player, if he gets agressive in THIS type of hand THIS early, has a set. End.
Tai, if you knew it was this type of player, I believe you should have folded. I further think it wasn't this type of player, because we tend to know all those players who play when we play (because we often table select to avoid sharing our ROI with them). Hence you played it fine.
I guess all I've done in this post is make myself look foolish. Shame.
