So I'm playing this 1,10 $ 6 max 2.5 K guaranteed on pokerstars .... 2 hours into it , and I'm sitting pretty good with a stack of 30k , blinds , 250-500 , this australian player on my left, has about 35k , so were close to the money , and out of the blue , he decides to shove every single hand , so he shoved about 6-7 hands, everybody folds , him being the chip leader at the table , don't think anybody wanted to risk getting kicked out , so close to the money, after his 7th-8th shove , I'm dealt QdKd UTG , I make a minimum raise , everybody folds , of course he goes all-in again... after about 20 seconds I call , btw I wouldn't normally call but this guy was incredibly annoying , and he would've kept shoving so I figured , I kick him out , I'll have a pretty strong chip stack , enabeling me to go deep, he kicks me out , well , guess I lose 1 $ , anyway I call , he shows 2 7 , flop comes Q Q 4 , so that's it for him, I double up very nicely and jump to 4th position , my main problem is , that I keep meeting these kind of morons at the tables, even in tournaments running for 4 or 5 hours , and I simply can't understand what's going on in their heads. oh and an update , I just jumped in 1st position , after going in a 3 way showdown , I have K K , villain , 9 9 , villain2 Q A , so things looking pretty damn good. Prizepool now 4,700$ 1st place 700 $.

You can't allow your self to be annoyed by these morons...
I've gotten VERY annoyed by these idiots in the past,...and when you try to knock them down or out once and for all.... BAM It backfires on you... And it's even WORSE when you have good cards....
I've had my chat blocked 3 times too for swearing at them....
There have been a few times though where they even get swearing at YOU after you harrass them a bit verbally,....THEN you wind up knocking THEM out... which is VERY satisfying...

Unfortunately many players are playing poker like they are in casino. That is the problem. And those who play like crazy without thinking a lot, they win. When I think a lot, when I follow the poker rules, I always lose.

Its nice to hear a story where common sense prevails for once. You dont usually hear about these if they dont end in a bad beat. Although tbh I probably wouldn't have taken the risk myself. He was probably trying to bully the table. Some people would seriously consider folding queens when they've been playing for 3 hours and hit the bubble. But his gamble didnt pay off this time.
