I saw ADZ stressing last week when he lost a QQ vs AK flippy with empire2000, he started sayin somethin about how he was gonna play against him like everyone else from now on. This was a coupla hours before he lost his chat i think, and while he may have had his chatted banned for another reason, i would imagine Pokerstars will have seen this chat. While not everyone does it, it does make sense for the regulars to softplay sometimes, as they know their money is not made from the other regulars, but from the fish. There is a scene in Rounders (at the Taj..?) that reminds me of this...

[EC10]

um this looks like very obvious softplaying to me

ADZ obv put Em2 on a large suited single gapper.. There's no value in a raise against J9s, and there are only 2 combos of KJs vs 4 combos of QTs. This is pretty uNL stuff Grimmy.
