Emad = Croc Bait?

[user24788]

Emad Thtouh has been pounding the flop against his tablemates. When they bet, he re-raises them, putting his big stack to good use. He had been targeting Billy the Croc on more than one instance and bullying him around.The Croc had been folding to Emad's raises. I wonder if the Croc is setting him up?
