Like everyone else, hate bad beats and suckouts, but it hurts so much more when you identify a donkey, and then set him up and then they get there. Besides bubbling with a cooler, I don’t think there is anything more frustrating and annoying. Happy they play the way they do, but it hurts so much more when the cards foil your plan. Suppose it’s the worse thing that can happen to them also, because they will continue to play that way, bad for them but good for us.

This first hand was only the 4th hand of the tourney, and was the first indication to me to keep and eye on him as a target.

By the time the following hand came along, my suspicions were confirmed and he was a complete and utter donkey, so just waiting for the right spot to tangle with him again. My bet sizing is player(s) specific.
