Money and the Monkey
Chris Moneymaker was on my immediate left for most of the $500 rebuy today. To my surprise, he mostly played pretty well. He was probably a little too loose-aggressive pre-flop, but that’s far from the worst leak to have and something that it’s very difficult for me to exploit from his right.
The other Villain in this hand came to the table with a big stack, and I initially gave him credit for being a pretty good player. Then he busted me thusly:

I suppose I can’t complain too much, since he also doubled me up by raising KJs UTG and calling a sizeable shove from my KK.
