I Just Want To Hurt Somebody

It's tough playing low dollar tournaments. Especially early in the game, when you're playing against complete novices that make bad mistakes, but then suck out on you, like this guy did in the very first hand of this tournament. After I made a nice pre-flop raise, check raised him on the flop, he calls both bets. Then bet all-in on the turn after catching a set of jacks, and I don't fault him for calling, but watch what happens:
