Back to short handed??

Ok, I was playing my usual sesh last night, and then all the ring games broke up, but I was still fiending to play. I noticed some 6 handed tables were still hanging on, so I decided to try out some new strategies there, and kind of just explore a little. Here are some of the hands that took place.

** Hold em or Fold em? **
 Ok, so at this point it is pretty clear that tonkarock1 has a set of 5's or 9's.
I didn't think he was the type of player to flat call a raise preflop with AA.  It
Also seems pretty clear to me that Goink is rockin a set as well.  The question is,
is it T's or A's?  With so much money in the pot, this would be an absolute heart
breaker if I make a bad fold, but I still have $1500 to save if he has the rockets.

** The logic behind this fold, was this - He obviously has at least a 7 betting
$175 into a pot of $90 with four people to act behind him.  If I'm right, and
he just has a 7, then we split the $90 pot, thus giving me $45.  However, if I'm
wrong, and he has the nuts (7,9), then I'm drawing to a four outer split pot for
a crap load of money.  In any case, what an unfortunate turn card for me :(

One of Party Poker's finest

Where is the answer to the age old question - Where are these people getting their money from? I used to say they probably have real jobs, and they just mess around on the tables as a hobby/addiction. But I've come to realize, there is no way these people have real jobs outside of poker, because no employer would hire someone this moronic... I maintain the ultimate winners from this poker boom have to be the online poker sites and credit card companies...These players must be getting their money by going way into debt.

Ok, so it's been a while, and I know you've all been eagerly awaiting my next post, so here it is. I took a week or so off, just because I didn't really feel like playing, and I didn't want to sit down if my focus wasn't going to be on poker.
