    YOU called the all in with AT. I know he's fairly short stacked and will shove a lot of hands - it does not mean you have to call this with AT.

    No way in hell this is even close to a bad beat (1.8:1)
    Even if I suspected russomatic was trying to steal the blinds, I'm not calling off 2/3 of my stack with ATo, but I'm glad to see you will :)

    Don't see what the big deal is. He tried to steal the blinds, you put most of your stack on the line with AT. He has live cards so this is a little better than a coinflip preflop (in your favor). These things happen.

    russomatic tried to steal almost every other blind before this hand. he would get donked then push his stack. lol. i knew he was pushing pretty much any two and insta-called his bullshit.
