Satellite to SCOOP Main Event

Last night I satellited into the small Main Event. When it was down to about 15 players there was a huge stack who raised every hand. I got disconnected during a break and after missing a few hands got on just in time to see aces to his raise to put me all-in. Um, call. I was lucky on seats - I was right behind him when it was two tables and at the final table (with eight seats up for grabs) I was two seats behind him. I only called him twice, once with aces and once with AK, and won both times.

I had nothing to do with this hand but it just entertained me. This is about as loose a call as you will ever see - it's not as if the re-raiser didn't have enough chips to make a serious raise. Big Stack isn't even getting 1.5-to-1 on his call. Those are really bad odds to call with when you're a 7-to-1 dog...
