This was great, see the hand and then the comments. I don't think I played it horribly given my position/stack/blinds/the fact that it's a $5 SnG but maybe you guys will disagree. What is indisputable are that the odds were in my favour when he flipped the cards.

So after that he says "I was 75% to win". I counted up 15 outs excluding runner runner pairs higher than a 7 so figured I was favourite. Nevertheless, I ran it thru the calculator here at this site and sure enough, I was favourite. So I let the guy know:
GenoTHP: flop odds for you stensuh:
GenoTHP: 57.78% to win me, 40.4% you, 1.82% tie
Dealer: Game #8902440968: stensuh wins pot (125)
GenoTHP: so uh, who's the fish?
GenoTHP: <'))))><
stensuh: whahahaah
stensuh: i had the best hand
stensuh: on the flop
GenoTHP: but the game doesn't end on the flop does it?
stensuh: yes because you had to fold
Dealer: hebus77, it's your turn. You have 15 seconds to act
GenoTHP: wow, you really are quite stupid
So we get 3 handed and it's me, stensuh and some other guy. I am on life support at one stage and with stensuh raising almost every hand, I shove with 65o. He flips ATo, I make trip 5s and of course he starts going off. Obviously I lucked out but it seemed to escape him that ATo vs 65o is not that heavily stacked in his favour.
Amusingly, that double thru hurt him badly and I knocked him out in 3rd a few hands later. After about 15 hands HU this final hand occurred. I had a feeling I was beat and I probably overplayed the 9s but I thought that I'd be making a scared fold if I let it go and I was hoping he had AK, AQ or AJ. KT seemed realistic but T8 kinda surprised me. Doh.

That almost beats "I'm tired of people hiding behind the odds as a reason to call" for one of the best fish lines ever.

But yeah, what an idiot.

I have been tempted to change my siggy many times but I that line is so classic, and I cut/pasted it real time when it happened so it is sort of like...memorabilia or something.
