    Hand 2:

    Player A AA, KK
    Player B 34 suited, something along those lines. small pocket pair is possible. without knowing who it is, it's hard to say.

    Edited because I misread the first time. Didn't see the check call from Player B

    No offense to Player A, but he/she just had an S.C.B.U.

    This person got all of his/her chips into the pot with king high. I don't like it at all, but this is how I go out of most tournaments. I'll get something into my mind, such as 'I'm going to win this hand no matter what' or 'this oppoent is a pushover' and the next thing I know I'm out of the game.

    I don't have any answers for Player A here. If you can figure out how to solve this problem, please let me know!

    I knew you were going to say that! LOL!

    And I'm gonna blow this thread up before anyone even has a chance to respond....because it really upset me.

    I had a pretty good read on this guy......

    His holding was K-4 of clubs.

    He smooth called my raise, then cold called my "continuation bet" with a gutter ball and next to no implied odds. The turn peels off the card for the sucker.....and I look like the fool when his miracle card hits.

    I knew the guy had nothing.....and if any other card drops off there.....either I take the pot down right then and there....or a king drops and I double through assuming I could avoid his gutter ball again.

    But yes, you are right.....I had a blow up.....but a blow up that SHOULD have worked. But I guess it isnt so easy. I knew once I bet the flop, I was probably going to be playing for it all.....so I guess I should have shoved. It would seem the "online" thing to do!

    The thing that upsets me.....this guy actually played the hand worse than I did....in my opinion. If that is possible. And he totes around his little FTOPS avatar and people think he is good......that is what I mean when I dont emulate what these "pros" do a lot of the time.....no one could ever convince me that this guy "outplayed" me on this hand.....he out-resulted me, obviously....but not much else.

    or maybe I'm just bitter and stubborn!
