Here's my 50p.... just gotta share this one!!

[AMRN]

Playing the Sunday night $200k gtd on iPoker for $215 buy in. Played dead tight for first 55 mins (only seen 1 flop!) when I got AA in big blind. had 1800 chips (2000 starting stack) and blinds are 30/60.

All folded round to SB who just made up the blind. Not wanting to give anything cheap, I raised it to 180..... and he min re-raised to 360..... and I re-raised to 600 - he called. We were equally stacked, so he had put in a third of his stack at this point.

Flop is 522 rainbow. He bets out for 240 and I shove.... he instacalls and shows J2o!!

So, he reraised, then called a re-re-raise for one third of his stack with J2o against the tightest player at the table.... and I was out holding AA in only the second hand I played in nearly an hour!

That tops the worst short term downswing I"ve ever had having shaved just over $1k off my $6k bankroll in less than a week!  

What do I need to do to win a hand!!?!?!?!?!

That is amazing, I thought thety were supposed to be good players at those buy in levels!
I might try moving up, I should fit right in!

I may be giving him too much credit here but I suspect he may have called the re-re-raise very reluctantly but with 360 chips already committed and 960 already in the middle he was getting 4/1 about calling for another 240 meaning he was probably correct to call once he got himself in that situation.

However I still think it was a bad play that got him into that situation in the first place as the tightest player at the table is unlikely to try to steal a small blind when in the big blind with the levels at 30/60. In my opinion he should have folded when you raised or at worst called. The re-raise was a bit silly given how tight you had been playing. Although he may have saw tight and thought passive leading him to try the re-raise in the first place in an attempt to get you to fold.

Maybe not as crazy a play as it first appears, just a thought.
