So we're in level 8 at WSOP #43, I'm moved to table with Andy Frankenberger in the 8 seat, I'm in 6. Allyn Jaffrey gets sat our table in the #2 seat. I tell her congrats on her bracelet and go on and on about what a great accomplishment it was. Douchebag, errr Andy gets all miffed that the table isn't singing praises to him on his bracelet and chirps "I'm surprised they give that event a bracelet". What an a-hole. Anyway, blinds 200-400-50 I'm in the big blind. I'm watching Andy the whole way and he prairie dogs after looking at his cards and raises 3x, more than his usual 2.5x. Folds around to me, of course I wake up with JJ. I stare him down and fold face up. Andy goes off doing his best Teddy KGB impression asking why I laid that down, then goes on to tell me what a bad player I am. (Still shows his aces). The rest of the level the guy tortures me, any hand I'm in it's raise, raise raise until I make a stand on a missed straight draw bluff and he calls me down with A high. Guy is a world class douche (imo) but a heck of a player. Just keep an eye out for the prairie doggin.

in before lock?

Don't fold strong hands face up against thinking players unless...

Ok, I'm new here and just read you can't call a guy an a-hole. Sorry. He's "well behaved in public challenged." I did call him a great player...which he is. Tough as nails to play against and I do regret needling him. He had me so gun shy that I later folded 7's to his raise in my BB. Flop came 77J and he and some Italian Pro go all in after the turn. I think that hand has tilted me for life, I would've been up to 50k at the time and one of the chip leaders. Live and learn...live and learn.

have you ever heard of setmining?

lol at folding 77 to a raise and call while in the bb

Don't be results-oriented. Unless you guys were 2000bb deep you didn't have the implied odds to quadsmine. Solid laydown.

itt op folds jj and 77 pre

to single raises

please post this in NVG so they can stop worshipping this ****ing toolbox

funny how he berates people's play then complains when he himself gets criticism from the table...

obv troll ITT

cool story i guess

Please define "thinking players"

Players capable of observing, assimilating, and USING the information they gather against you by optimally adjusting to exploit you.

The more info you provide, the better able they are to adjust/exploit you.

I met him after he busted the WPT ME final table at FW last year. On one hand, he was in a **** mood, as most would be after busting but he still talked to me and allowed me to take a pic. OTOH, he didnt tip the dealers
