    Ok, so I'm just getting back into poker. I've been playing small tourny's, and not doing too bad. But it always seems I get one guy at the table that owns my soul. I'll build up a decent stack and feel comfortable, play solid and they will consistantly just widdle away at my stack till I tilt it all to them. Frustrates the hell out of me.

    That's happened, but tonight he was across the table. If I were in the hand, he was too. If I hit two pair, he would hit his set on the river. If I've got a flush and straight draw, his bottom pair would hold. If I know he's betting at air, and I repop all in, he calls with jack and still hits one of his cards. The kind of guy you want to google and find where he lives so you can hunt him down....ya one of those.

    Yes there is one guy who kills me constantly. Usually play him in a private tourneys and sometimes sngs. Anyways when I meet him in vegas a few weeks ago, we were at 3 or 4 different tables together and I ran like a god against him. It felt really good but I still owe him a ton of bad beats.

    every now and then when im just messin around or like 1tabling at the end of a session ill randomly choose someone and just try to rape him in every pot, like 3b him or flat him 100% of the time, raise his blinds, etc.
    it can get fun and good practice imo

    If you can't spot the sucker, then you are the sucker. I have about 4 of these guys at my table at any given time, they have no fear re-raising me and me only.

    Does it happen this guy always have position on you?

    You must do some adjusments to trow the ball back to his court, but if you have an advantage over the rest of the table why would you go in fight against the only guy that is giving you trouble. Jusyt tight up a bit, and let him spew.

    Add me to the "moorman owns my soul" list.

    You can also add jorj (in steps), zackattack (in 180s) and gboro (in all aspects of poker and life) if you feel like expanding the list.
