Down in Pheonix this week with the family. Found my way to a local casino and played in a NL tourney for $60 buy in. 120 players with 1.5k starting chips but blinds were going up every 20 minutes so M was dropping fast. Luckily my QQ held up and I almost doubled up against AQ. The crazy hand came when a dude trying to look like Phil Ivey with the big headphones sits down at the table. I watched him for the first few hands and he carries that "I am the best player" attitude. It gets to my BB and I see K9h and I see 4 limpers including the superstar... I push all in with blinds at 100/200 and I have a 2900 stack. The superstar calls right away and I figure I am screwed but when everyone else folds he turns over 56h. Since I have him covered I still can't imagine that he makes that call since he had over 2k chips at the time. If he pushed and I called that I can understand but this play is just horrible in my mind....
Anyone have any thoughts? It did give me more time to spend with the family. Oh and I did just pull off a 1st place finish in a Rio SNG. Starting to get better at those.

A Canadian low limit poker player just wanting to post progress on his bankroll and other rants. Back to playing mostly NL25 and trying to get to the NL100 level with NL200 as the year end 2009 goal. Anyone from the tax department should realize that this is completely a fictional account and should not be used to audit me.

Fellow canadian wishing you a happy holiday. That call is just a bad play by the Ivey wannabe and you know it.
Link me up when you get back..
The call, horrible. But you never divulged...I'm guessing he pulled a straight or frush out of his ass.
And I loves me some Rios.
That's is an all-time horrible call. I can see raising and getting caught, but you never call with that all-in ever.
