it was bit unlucky but god, it happens to me so many times with 2 pairs And there was actually some possible straight draws (A2, A4, 64, 62) and he had still around 18% chance to win it on flop... But you didnt make any mistake I thiink, I would play it same, just unlucky.
I just finished one SNG I had K10o on BB, blinds 200/400 and I had only 800 left. everybody fold SB raise allin (1500) I call... He had 10,10.
FLOP: K, 7, 2. TURN: A RIVER: Yea you are right, last 10 in deck

I just got through asmall buyin SnG and got knocked 4th place (in the money) by a Q,2 against my pair of K's. I don't even know why he would call other then being big stack. Anyway, flop is A, 2, J turn is a 6 and river is another 2. Beat out by three 2's over K,K. over 25,000 chips in a carp hand, suckout, bad beat, lucky river.
I wouldn't even have played the hand. They weren't even suited!

Pretty impressive stats that deep in the game.... Seeing that hand through to the river would be a pretty good bet. Don't think I'd have done anything different either. You had good cards and a generally a good hand,...plus the possibility that buddy could have been playin' you....

First off, I'll just say that hand is pretty standard. No point raising in the blind with a weak hand like q5o, so checking is find. Flopping 2 pair, I'd say it's hard to get away so you just got unlucky.
Now I'm going to talk about your actual stats. You saw a flop 24% of the time. This is way too loose, which means you're playing far too wide a range, and likely playing out of position a LOT. Work on position play and hand ranges, you'll find your game improve DRAMATICALLY if you do just those 2 things.
Also, you see 24% of flops, and only 8% of turns and rivers. This means you are probably missing a lot of opportunities to bluff/steal pots on wet boards etc. This also points out that you're playing quite passively, preferring to check/call instead of raise like you should be.
Lastly, the fact that you won 100% of showdowns means you're only playing hands where you think you've got the nuts, or close to it. Now I'm not advising that you turn into a calling station, but this to me means you're giving up on wayyyyyyy to many hands that you're probably miles ahead in. Paying attention to players betting patterns, and the board texture will help you pick up spots where you can pick up more pots, without having to have the best hand by bluffing as well as prevent being bluffed out of pots that you would have won.

Ty for the tips. Yes most of the time i play safe, only with good/very good hands , and some times for example if i could play i could play a hand like A7 , i could had four of a kind A, since Flop was A 5 A turn A river 10, but thta's very rare. And i play agressive but where i think i can ... i'm watching very closely at the other players from the table. Learn about them , how they play , what hands they play ... i mark them so if i met them again i know something about them and stuff like that. And depends on tourney ... if i play more aggressive or safe , or both... and what's my objective / target to catch in that tourney.

G'day mate
I am unsure if the river is my enemy or not but for the record ever since the last PStars update I have not been able to get a break from the river rapist. I mean I could not hit a river right now if I fell out of a boat in the middle of the Nile's wet season.
SB 200 / BB 400 on hand 104 i got Q5 as BB. button call, SB call. I check. Flop 5 Q 3. I raise 800, button raise all-in ( A Q ), i call. Turn 9 , River 9 ...
Im still thinking if i shouldnt call on that raise.... but i had 2 pairs on flop ... and there was nothing for a flush or straight ...
100% of showdown doesn't mean you are playing perfect. I've won 3 2.50 sngs in 3 days with 52%.... Be more aggro, nothing wrong with losing few pots. How will you get payed off with monsters i wonder?

Nice statistics, and about that Q5, you played very well, the mistake was from those who let you see the flop without having to put any extra chips on the table. That's one of the main reasons to always bet pre-flop each time we play, it's the only way to guarantee the less crazy hands possible in the game. The only one that will pay to see a flop with Q5 is a very loose aggressive player, a donk, or someone with so many chips that he doesn't know what to do with them.

And there was actually some possible straight draws (A2, A4, 64, 62) and he had still around 18% chance to win it on flop... But you didnt make any mistake I thiink, I would play it same, just unlucky.
