Poker tell that drives me nuts
I see it happening and yet i still sucker myself.
I find this happens a lot in tourneys. If you have a guy on the button to your blinds, who steals a lot he'll usally raise it the typical 3X the BB. You fight back on occasion but sometimes have to let it go.
When they have a real hand, the reduce the raise usually to the minimum raise (so 2X the BB), usually with a monster like KK, AA. They've been stealing so much, but now they want you to play.
Me evening noticing this change in the betting pattern, act like a lemming and fall into playing with that player. The problem is he's inviting you in, and if you're not even willing to play for 2X the BB, that player can start stealing on you with just 2XBB.
I'm just so angry cause i basicly blew an entire tourney last night, with someone doing that move, and my mind saying, hum that raise is odd you know what that means, while i simultaniously push all-in. ughhhh.
