Can’t Argue With That Logic

I’d been playing this short stacker heads up at 10/20 NL. He was pretty bad, but I was going to need to make a hand to bust him. Finally, I got AKo and made my standard $60 raise. He shoved all in for about $400, I snap-called, and he turned over As Ks, making him a slight favorite. The flop came Js 9h 5s, and a Qs on the turn gave him the nuts. Here’s the chat the ensued:

Dealer: Foucault shows Ace King high.
Dealer: Villain wins the pot ($794.90) with a flush, Ace high
Dealer: Villain is sitting out. Hand # 5709278675 has been cancelled
Foucault: you %@!#%
Foucault: hit and run?
Villain: have to ur better than me
Villain: i got lucky
Foucault: have a good day
Villain: gg

Even though it’s annoying and rude when these guys double up and quit, I play them in the full knowledge that that’s probably what they’re going to do, if they’re lucky enough to double up in the first place. And if he’s willing to come right out and admit that he was just gambling, I really can’t blame the guy for making the wise decision and quitting while he’s ahead. Really I should just be appreciative that he was willing to play me in the first place.
