Should have set the stage a bit better. It was the FT bubble and I am 1 of 11. I am a LAG and had been raising alot of pots without much contension. I certainly think Q10 is a good enough hand to button steal with considering the situation. At showdown I hadn't really shown garbage, but only hands of solid value.The villan is passive, and I didn't think he was capable of calling a RR on the river because I was sure the small bet was a steal attempt (based on previous situations). I realize that he was getting a fairly good price there, but K10?!?!? WTF???

KT - WTF? from the one holding QT :)

I think this tells the tail.

After his check/call on the turn vs. LAG button thief he figured either his K is good or he's paying off a random 6. This call tells you you missed the mark on the time to change gears.

Why couldn't I be slow playing a 9....I can understand the call on the turn and even the donk lead on the river, but when I raise him on the river he is never good with K high. (except in this case)

A 9, 6, 33 or A-rag all have him beat. I find it hard to believe this bet was for value considering myself and 1 other guy punished him for his weak steal attempt on the river. Only one of these bets were called and the villan here showed bottom pair. The rest of the hands were raised after the small donk lead bets.

You are probably right when you say I should've switched gears, but I felt like this was a great spot to pick up chips. Nobody at the table was sticking up for themselves either. Looking at his VPIP and OPR stats I think I just hand an encounter with a donkey calling station.

Didn't your mama teach you to run the nutz into stations? Station or not, you do know he is willing to to call light if he "showed bottom pair". Did he win that one with bottom pair? If he's calling light with winners and folding out his losers maybe he just has emaculate reads going or is on an awsome rush.

Another thing is if a couple of you are picking on him, he will get tired of that at some point and make a stand.

Not sure about the other table but you started the hand second in chips & he was 3rd. I prefer to pick on shorter stacks that may be trying to move up a couple of places, the pickings just seem to be better most of the time.

I wasn't singling him out...I was being aggressive toward the whole table.

Yes "A 9, 6, 33 or A-rag all have him beat." that was my point, he knows you could have him beat..... You a can also be on a draw som paint or air . You are a LAG button thief after all :)

Back to my original post - "Do keep in mind that this one can pay off set mines." With deep stacks be a bit more willing to see and fold flops with hands that have potential but need big implied when you hit to be EV+......... You know he is willing to pay you off.

I know I should be bluffing stations, but I just felt the urge in this spot. I obviously regret it now, but I didn't fully realize he was that big of a station until this.

Sorry this wasn't clear.... you do know he is willing to to call light if he "showed bottom pair". Did he win that one with bottom pair? He was the won called and showed BP and the loosing hand.

I prefer to pick on shorter stacks that may be trying to move up a couple of places, the pickings just seem to be better most of the time.

I agree 100%^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Thank you for the responses. I appreciate it.
