I was playing my ass off here. Absolutely card dead, except for the one hand I had, QQ.
Donkeee just happened to have KK. I managed to keep the damage relatively low. Then,
about 10 hands later, I finally get the rockets. Should I have just folded them?
What did I do wrong here? How could I have played it better? ALL comments welcome...
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

The guys name says it all. While the flop was low and he could have put u on AK or Any Ace with kicker he might have felt he was best. If that was not the case since I dont knwo the guys style, then he just got extremely lucky.
You played fine so dont worry about it. Just cool down and regroup so you can play smart poker in the next game u enter (not saying u didnt play smart there, but that ur frustration could result in problems in future tournaments.
the problem here was the timing in the tourney and chip stacks.
A) His stack was double yours plus some
B) it was early enough in the tourney and you couldn't cripple him so in his mind it was worth the gamble
I'm pretty sure he played it knowing you had an over pair with all low cards on the table was it a bad play probably not on either players part thats just the breaks of poker keep your chin up and keep grinding
Flopped wheel and got pushed all in by two pair Ace 4 and they rivered the 4 for a boat.
People will unfortunately play what they want and get rewarded.
Good luck in the future.
At the very least I might have suspected a superior hand with such a re-raise. I imagine AA called very quick not even thinking about the possabilities since this was only the second hand that was worth anything. Kind of like counting your chickens before they hatch. Well once he's all in and ya call you both take the risk of losing and it's out of your hands. Oh,well ya lost. The only thing I don't undersatand why players who get outdrawed say it's the poker site's falt in almost every title of blogs written on RB. Bunk. Good Luck on the next table and may the river be kind to ya...Jim
Can you say salad tossing? Pittsburgh platter? Rusty trombone? You'll be coughing up shit for weeks. Ohh... God help us....:P
Blinds are still low but....
Hard for me to say how I would've played the hand... seeing as I was not on the table and don't have reads on opponents... BUT.. typically I would've led out on that flop for around 3/4 pot (the overbet may have looked weak.. .which in effect could be a good thing if villain perceives it this way... which he obviously did and you managed to get all the money in on the flop while way ahead... mission accomplished... no?). Anytime we make a bet there's a reason behind the bet. Villains reraise shove (donkee123) seems totally ludicrous as you are now pot committed with your overbet on the flop so is he not considering this?... does he actually think he can get you to fold here?
His preflop call was terrible - - your stack isn't nearly big enough for him to call in hopes of hitting a set... his first dumb move.
We're 'supposed' to love these types of players on the tables... you know.. the ones in tourney play or satellite play who take nothing into consideration but their own two cards.
but i love that first comment lol
