Default I'll never make a good high $$ player because I couldn't do this...

I play mostly at Full Tilt these days and sometimes while playing I will watch the higher dollar no limit games when some pro's I recognize are playing.

First of all it was kind of funny because during one of their "ProChat" session John Juanda was asked if a good player could go broke and he responded yes, it's all about table selection because even if you are the 9th best player in the world and you are at a table with the top 8 players in the world you will eventually go broke.

So it was odd to see him at a 50/100 NL 6-max table with John D'agastino (SP?), and two of FT's better known NL players KrisQueen and BoostedJ. Anyway an unknown player (don't recall the name) bumped it to $500 pre-flop (keep in mind this is not a tourney, it's cash money), KrisQueen re-raises to $1500, unknown player pushes all-in for nearly $3000 more, KrisQueen immediatly calls.

Unknown player shows AQo and KrisQueen shows AKs. I can't imagine no matter how big my roll is that in a cash game I get that much money in pre-flop with those hands.

I know it was 6-max, but don't you wait for a better spot? JD??

If it matters the unknown player caught four clubs on the board to make a Q high flush and drags a huge pot, just sick.
