Now some of you might be wondering why i went all in after he bet 260 on the flop. I thought that he had an A because of his raise and I knew any re-raise he would call. Hence, I went all-in. I guess it wasn't a good play after all.

Here is the second hand, in which he knocked me out.

I guess I could have played better but I thought that these beats were pretty bad.

Hi,

Yeah, those are pretty bad; especially the first one, but as you already know, you contributed to your own demise. Your opponent wasn't making the big bets, he was just making big (albeit crazy) calls. I would have slowed down, just in case he somehow connected in a big way.

I always wonder why people don't give their opponents any odds to call when they think they are ahead. I see people trying to bet opponents off of a hand and a lot of the time it ends badly for the better. In this case, Bezerk_U2 didn't really have odds to call you, but he sure was in deep enough post-flop to go for it with with 2 pair.

Better luck next time bro,
OT

[JHOOD]

LOL damn man all i can say is if you see him sign up for another tourny your in just unregister

[JStrong84]

Yeah, I think one thing I've learned playin is that Ace may be the highest but two of the lowest will still kick its ace!
