Nice catch.

In related news, I managed to turn a small profit playing some FL holdem at Will Hill this weekend

This should ruin Kotkis's (from 2+2) PokerTracker HU stats.

JD, I would be interested in getting your honest opinion here. Obviously this is a horrible play. I am constantly amazed at some of the horrible play/players that some of you big timers post about. But do you think that alot of it is just that they are fish, or is it more that you tilt people, as you stated in OP. Meaning, do you think this guy (and many others), are really that bad? Or is it more from the cumulative effect of you playing LAGy, check-raising alot, showing bluffs etc.? Do you think alot of these donks, if they look back on plays similar to this, are wondering why they would make such a play?
Or again is it just simply that the world is filled with fish?
TP, boobie, etc. chime in too please.

I think it's a combination. Typically (say, 90% of the time), the donks I run into in 6 max games are just donks. But playing Heads Up like this, I think you can most definitely tilt your opponent and get him to hand you his stack like this.

I don't know if you can assume this is such a horrible play. Perhaps the way JD played the hand made the villain to believe that it was unlikely for JD to have an ace or better in the hand and that this bet on the end would work enough times for this play to be profitable. Although it looks retarded when JD has a monster doesn't mean that it is necessarily a donk play.

Everyone plays a hand or several hands badly from time to time. I'm sure if I posted one of my many moronic hands you would instantly try to track me down and hunt for me to take money away from me. Just because you saw one hand in a HU match that made the villain look dumb doesn't mean that this person is a bad player.
