US Trip - October - Las Vegas - who is the fish?

Well I think I am going to retire from poker. I can't seem to get anywhere either in cash games or tournaments.

To give you 2 examples, in the tournament today.
1 : The player under the gun throws in a 500 chip when the blinds are 50/100. He wanted to raise but did not say so, therefore when I asked if it was a call the dealer said it was. I had 65 in late position so I called. Then I can't believe it when the BB raises to 400. The UTG guy just calls and I fold in disgust. The dealer flops 659 rainbow. Bet of 1000 is called. Turn is 6. Bet of 1500 is called. I would surely have nearly tripled up here.
2 : The hand that eliminates me. Blinds are 100/200 with 25 ante. I have 2500 chips. 4 limpers to me in the BB with 84. I check. Flop is 28Q rainbow. All check. Turn is 7. I think I must be winning so push all in. Called by a guy who was slowplaying AA. Nice.

You know they say that when you look around the table and you can't see the sucker then it is you. Well I certainly feel like that at the moment.

As some consolation, the Ceasars tournament that Mark and I played in on Monday did have that tall American swimmer bloke in it http://www.cardplayer.com/poker-news/article/5334/tournament-trail-q-and-a-michael-phelps - and he was at my table for a while. Seemed like an OK guy - it sounded like he gets a lot of grief about being a poker fish (!) when he does not deserve it. It was reassuring to see artifically enhanced blonde ladies asking for his autograph.

Oh and it seems that the gossip is that the World Poker Tour is about to go bust - you heard it here first...
