I do agree with your statement that people get frustrated and will end up doing something foolish if you keep raising them preflop.

However in your example it just seems like a matter of having the right cards at the right time.

Would you have called his 1000+ all in on that last hand with any other of the hands you had been dealt previously? eg. 33, A3, Q2, 85, 72???

Setting the trap I agree with but springing it...........??? Hmm.

Rip, I like the aggression, but have you never come up against a decent challenger? I think you'd have trouble taking on a player willing to dig in and shoot back.

If I were wanting to take money from Ripptyde, I would follow him after a garage sale. He seems to drop stuff and I can cash in.

At the poker table it might be more difficult.
I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway.
Whatever it is...
I'm against it.
