Would've put me into thje top 15ish at the time. Oh well had to double rebouy to have any chance iand just got back up to 21k very quickly. add-on of 30k happening in next 3 minutes so if i can last without doing anything dumb i'll have a healthy enough stack to play my game.
Wish me luck guys!

Some players just cant fold suited hands. No matter what cards they are. And this time it was 67 so one more reason. And a huge bet of course in the flop for the chase With 12 down you are still good Better luck on the next one.

I would say many players would call anything with any two suited cards specially if they are suited. IMO this is the big changes in today's poker plus A crap the same.
These changes are a big nighmare for me and i suppose for many other players. It is loto poker more tha before.

Notice if there is an Ace on the flop someone always always has one!!!!
It never fails, or yes alot of people play any 2 suited cards and always seem to get lucky. I dont see the s**t in real life like I do in a single tournament on stars, its rigged to a certain degree, its rigged to create action in my opinion

Come on. You wanted fairly weak hands to join and play, or you would have raised more preflop. And after his flop bet, he couldn't fold any more. So just bad luck and nothing "sick". That is reserved for some runner runner suckouts.

Also what should I do put 5x, 6x bets or maybe 10x lol ? They will never call. of course I wanted action or I would have just pushed.
Come on, keep it together. Bad beats happen all the time, though I agree that by my standards it was not really sick tbh. I would have just made the same call pre-flop with those clubs in my hand in this situation...

The degree of sickness perceived can be highly subjective in the partially luck based and partially strategy based games like poker. Also, the degree of sickness experienced can be dependent on person's general mood at a particular moment.

Interesting. I was wondering whether he would have called a higher raise from you pre flop. Given his post flop activity then it is highly possible, because of course any higher raise pre flop from you would no doubt be likely to have you close to being pot committed, so he may have called anyway as he had you covered. I think your pre flop raise was too small to push him off, and once you only bet 2/3 of the pot, a call was an easy shout for him. Once he gets a flush and a straight draw on the flop his pot sized bet was ok and if you shoved his call was a simple one too.
Better luck on the next one.
