Posted by Redvulture61: Play for real money on stars. People have respect for their play and the ones who don't are very profitable to play against in the long term.
Must be a different Pokerstars to the one I play on then, because Pokerstars is the biggest donkfest known in the history of mankind, and they don't half reward the donks on that site..
That's certainly true of their free roll MTTs and free roll leagues. Haven't played for real money there enough to judge though.

Posted by erru9107: I hadAQ, flop came AT5, I was short stack so went all-in, got called by two players. One had KT and the other had 9T. Turn was some crap and the river was another freaking T.
Or do I maybe actually play bad in general?
Any input about this would be great! Thanks!
Going by what you've said here, I'm going to take a stab in the dark and suggest your stack was 20BB or less. All of this most likely would have been avoiding by (correctly) going all-in preflop.
Seriously, in any standard-payout MTT, NEVER call or raise with <20BB stacks, simply fold or shove, NEVER deviate from this. NEVER EVER.
I had about 25 BB. And thank you for your input! All advise in mostly appreciated!!
If you can, post the full hand history.. I'd be curious to see if there was a way for you to avoid this. 25bb is an awkward stack-size to play with and unfortunately often lends itself to spots like this.

I'll have a look around and see what I can find. Can't promise anything tho. I'm not sure how many hands are saved and I also never really look at the HH (I know, that's a mistake) so I'm not 100% sure as to where to look for it. But I'll give it a go!!
AQ...shove in this position so that you will be either heads up and hope you not against AK,KK,QQ,AA....10 9 cannot call you all in on this spot but because you only raise they can a have a cheap flop and beat you on the river....
