GASITT is a good friend of mine, and oftentimes able to stop playing someone if he thinks he might be getting outplayed. I imagine he quit because he realized he got outplayed on that pot (rather than being like "look at that donkey calling off huge bets with bottom pair") and didn't want to play you with your stack that deep vs him (woulda been about 40k to 36k it appears).

This hand and this explanation make perfect sense to me. Of course you leave when the dude is outplaying you to this extent.

I haven't actually talked to Gassitt yet but I'm about 80% certain this is the case. When he had the big stack advantage he was probably willing to play (or maybe even felt he had an edge), and then this hand happened and that entirely changed.

He's a pretty mature guy and able to admit to himself most of the time if he no longer has the best of it (more so than a lot of high stakes players, anyway, who let ego get in the way).

if you suspected you were ahead, then i don't get why you didn't make a play on the turn. or maybe you didn't have full confidence until the river (based on how he reacted to the Ace)?

cool hand though.

I would be afraid of him bluffing with a better hand on hand 2...

I think the call on hand #2 is quite awful.

No disrespect but you're losing that hand far more times than you're winning it.
