a bad beat there....new tournament please....got this experience too but what can i say...the guy was very lucky....being ahead in pre flop all in situation is good but you cant win all the time...sometimes we lost even we have monster hands like AA,KK

35o? I thought he had Ao or something, who in his perfect mind would go insta all in with 35o? And there was Money involved, it wasn’t just another game (it could be few, and maybe that was the reason of his move, but i always start from the principle that, if a person enters a paid tourney to play and win, he won’t change his strategy in the middle of the game – or. Like in this case, almost in the end – just because it was few Money invested).

Interesting situation, though not a surprising one. A lot depends on what has gone before and your calling strategy..... maybe he thought your limp was a cheeky and cheap look see at what the flop might bring so he called your bluff. Little did he know, you were probably bluffing him, but then you bombed out. So........ what can we learn from this? Sh*t happens.

just swallow this and move on to the next table imo- nothing too special, yes it's a pity to see some dude winning your first place, but that's life. when playing heads up i really do not see any surprises at all- people can play any trash hands like aa, or aa like a trash hand, so just be happy that you finished in the money and hope for better outcome in the future
It's because of players like this one that online poker can be profitable even with the rake
I guess limping your KK was good against a retard like this. But still you should raise pre flop cause if he decides to limp and hits 2 pair, you're never folding...

yes machine your very right, i win a few times against AA,KK heads up when they limp and i check BB and hit two pair...they will call to the river no matter what board...
