This player called off their stack on the turn with a flush draw getting 2-1 on their money when there is a pair on board and they may be drawing dead.

I know that two callers on the flop to my raise would mean another ace is out there, but after playing these tables for the past while, those calls mean nothing. Scary.

That's why 6-max is so profitable. Some players have the impression you have to be really loose and bluff at every oppurtunity. I think I'll be heading back to the short handed tables in the new year to be honest.
