NY,

I wasn't, and I don't think Bakes was criticizing you. Neither post was very serious either.
Your attention to little details live is a good thing, but I miss 90% of this kind of stuff, and misinterpret at least half of what I do notice.

I don't think Bakes was criticizing me or Todd. There was misunderstanding before, but nothing major. Good luck to all!

Todd, result ?

This is, in effect, a story and so I think results would be helpful (eveutually). I also think that this hand can swing both ways at any given tournament - one time he had the nuts, the others you have him crushed. I.e. the reads and the tells are somewhat irrelavant; as said they can be used in different situations by differing strengths of players.

Personally, I have him on something even as weak as QK. Having said that you are racing against most of his range AQ + AK and for some reason I think he is capable of laying down a hand like 88 99 (I don't know why) and therefore crushed by the rest of it....

You are just under the border-line of tournament commited and so I fold.

I folded, other players at the table was convinced the guy had AA as well for whatever reason. I try not to rely on "feelings" that can't be described and analyzed in dealing with live tells, but perhaps this a hand where if we had a videotape everyone would agree with me, who knows. Thanks for the input.
