When I fish the teacher

[Borax]

I was playing a NL 22$ SnG yesterday and a major fish was calling anything that moved at the table. I was looking for a chance to get his chips and got really anoyed when another guy constantly made fun of the fish and even explained to him why his calls were bad

I couldn't get any decent cards to play (never seen 93o that many times) and due to the fish it was impossible to bluff the table. The fish busted out and we got down to 6-handed with my table image being super tight. Blinds at 75/150 and I had 1450 in chips when I got QQ in UTG.

I raised to 500 and the "teacher" in UTG+1 with a 3000 stack called and the rest folded. Flop came 389
I moved all in for my remaining 950 (pot was 1225) and the teacher after all that talk about making terrible calls, called me and showed AK

He then hit an A on the turn and a K on the river to bust me, but that was not the point, since I would welcome that call any time.

1) I had been super tight, steeling blinds only once
2) I raised from UTG
3) There were only red cards on the table.
4) He's a big dog to any pocket pair and also A9, A8 and A3 and can't win against AdKd. Even JdTd and QdTd are big favourites. Mainly he is hoping for AQ, AJ, AT or KQ.

The conclusion:
Do not teach the fish to play and maby it's a good idea to look closer at your own calls before you make fun of other players.

If anyone would like to try to convince me that his call wasn't that bad, feel welcome to do so. But you better have a good and detailed explanation.

One of the things I find about online poker (and am guilty of it too myself quite often) is that players don't really pay attention to one another. If a player loses a hand to a bad beat then that is remembered but good play often isn't. As such it's very difficult to represent yourself as a certain type of player because so many players just play the cards they've got. I play a very tight game (possibly too tight for 5 player SnG's if I am to be honest with myself) and quite often I'll go a few hands and not play one. Then I'll get a good hand and bet, get called. The flop will come out in my favour and I'll bet big and get called by someone chasing (who then goes on to hit their gutshot etc) and the basic truth is.....they never noticed that I was a rock. It never even crossed their mind that this guy here hardly plays a hand and is now betting large....he must've hit! All they care about is that they are one miracle card away from the nuts and they have no qualms blowing all of their chip stack chasing it! lol!
