So I'm at the final table of the BRM freeroll, and first hand I get pocket 7's and this is how the hand played out, what a fantastic way to lose, called with ace high on the flop and rivers top pair, thanks again jokerstars.

Well, not to be an a55 but your first mistake was to raise pre-flop in such an early position. Your second mistake was re-raising all-in on the flop with two overcards. If it was me, I would have called pre-flop and folded any bet on the flop.
I don't mean to be rude but if that's how you play, I'm kinda surprised you made it to the final table...

Why would I flat UTG? 9/10 times it's going to get raised somewhere along the line before it gets back to the cutoff, I think I played the hand great he had exactly what I put him on a big ace so jamming the flop was the right move IMO, just unlucky that the moron called me and even unluckier to have him hit the river.

Simply because all you really had was a low pair. And you said that you put him on a strong ace, that could just as easily have been an AJ. Hell, even QJ would have beaten you and I know for a fact that a lot of people in freerolls play that hand thinking it's actually a good one.
Anyways, making a raise like that pre-flop just gets you one out of two things. 1. You steal the blinds 2. You get called buy AT-AK, maybe even KJ-KQ and possible even QT-QJ.
In this case you got called, that means that you are more then likely up against a better hand then yours. There were two over cards at the table, the odds that the villain hit a pair bigger then yours is about 30%. Then considering that he bet the flop would suggest that he hit something. Now, with you having just a pair, and a low one, it's pretty stupid really to re-raise all-in. I mean think about it, you had like 8% chance of hitting a set. Now, say that he actually didn't hit (which he didn't but at that point you don't know) and he calls and flips over, as in this case, AK. Then he has 6 outs meaning he has about 24% chance of hitting.
Besides, if I was the guy with AK, I probably would have played the hand just the same way as he did. I mean, in my eyes, you represent either a low pocket pair, a ragged ace or possibly even a stone cold bluff.

Never a nice way to lose but you put yourself in a position that you had no right to be in. Pocket 7's is not exactly a great hand but it is still a bad way to lose. Unlucky mate

How can someone, play like this and having so much luck. After this hand, he went again all-in , K8 vs AK , he got 2 x 8 on flop ... He played like this every time. This was the final table, 6 players left. And i'm so mad, cause i could knowck him out before the final table, even at the final table... Dafa Poker, is the platform.
