Hmm, What Bothered Me Most
Was it his strange min bet on the turn, the fact I went from a 7000 chip stack in a sit and go with 5 left to out 5th (my KK lost to 44 shortly later). Was the fact that I was having a great run for the Battle of Planets leader board when this happened. Not sure but sheesh.
And I did not raise preflop because this guy was the most insane post flop calling station I had seen to this point.

Pot Odds? Yeah, maybe he almost had pot odds on the turn to call (though not really), but these were pot odds that he himself helped create in a bad spot. That is not entirely how the concept of pot odds is supposed to work
ie an extreme example: hmm, that guy who plays 1 hand in 200 raised preflop to 3x BB, let me reraise to 30 BB with 2 7 o to try to steal - oops he shoved but it was only 4 BBs more so I had pot odds to make the "correct " call. Oh well, I lost but I made a good play calling in the end.
I would be curious how the villian played it correct in this hand, other then committing his relatively decent sized stack trying to induce a bluff (actually 2 bluffs) with a very marginal hand with 5 left in a sit and go.
