Why?

There is a player who I have played against in the $6 and $15 turbos on numerous occasions.....I would say well over 100 times since the beginning of the year. He plays, no joke, anywhere from 15-30 tables at a time. And never once has he said a word at any of the tables.

I won't give you his name, simply because it really doesn't matter. He isn't very good either, from what I've seen. If it gives you any indication, I have only played him heads-up at most 3 or 4 times......and historically, I have had a ton of top 2 finishes.

However, in the course of one of the SNG's that I was playing tonight, he typed in the following statements.

: lee jones is sitting there
: hahaha look at
: he pays us so much rake and we **** him like a *****

No comments before, no comments after.

So my simple question is why? Why does he keep plugging away? I mean this seriously when I say that he just is NOT good.......busting out 6th or 7th or on the bubble a ton. And when he does get ITM, he is usually so shortstacked that he isn't a factor.

His comment basically accuses Stars of rigging, which is pretty funny in general, since we all have been lately (shout out to Hoy ......I hear ya brother).

But I simply go back to the question of why he would do this. 20+ tables while losing? Makes zero sense. It must be coincidental that I only see him losing.......

Revert back to playing.......I only played a few of my "favorite" $15's tonight finishing 4th and 5th in the 2 I played. AK allin preflop in the SB gets called by the BB (he had me outchipped by a few hundred chips). He had KQ and hit a Q on the turn. What can I say?

In the second SNG, I was in 4th place out of 5 when it was folded to me on the button, and I had TT. With the blinds at 100/200, I raised to 600 and the BB called. Flop comes out 962 rainbow. I check, he bets 400 so I push my last 1000 chips in and he calls with his 96. The board doesn't pair and I am out 5th. He made a crap call preflop, obviously, but should I have pushed preflop?........hahahahahaha

I have horrible luck at the 15's.....what can I say?

I'm beginning to think the 3x BB raise is no longer enough to keep people from fishing. When blinds are low or BB is chip leader I can see it more often. Maybe 5x is the new 3x. Of course whenever I have rockets and throw out 3x, everbody folds.
