saterday i played a tournement and i finished in final table ... got third prize ... but i was at the same table with a guy who went all the time all in the moment he had a A-3 or A-4 or A-7 ... and it was not easy to play against him because he was so lucky all the time ... he even won the tour and he had made me so nervous with his playing that it was not pleasent playing no more for me even i finished in very nice place . Why such players have the luck with them ?

It happens yes
Once i tilted and was really angry (dont happen a lot ). On the other table i wrote in chat ''every 2 facecards/pockets allin!!!'' And i did every AJ KJ KQ JJ 22 66 ect i went allin, so many times. The first player who called me had AK and i busted him with 55. After that everybody was too scared to call me, i ''allined'' myself easy ITM.
I know it was not a ''nice'' thing to do especcially saying in chat ''every 2 facecards..." but it did work. I know its bad pokerplay but i was so extremely tilted had to do it.

You could provide some hands you played... Sometimes I feel like I hit every hand even if I don't play it))

he watched too much tv-poker but if my cards are good i call such allins gladly if i´m in the money ( bad thing if this gentleman or ladies are suited and hit the flush on the river )

it was real money tournement ... i won 470 $ ... and i understand that in afreeroll such things happen a lot but even than you do not expect that in a final table ... everybody needs some luck to get to the final table but hes game was really based on luck and had nothing to with some skill ... my stacksize was very good ... i was even for some time in pole position but called a all in J J and lost that and from that point my stacksize started to go down and down because after a while you are scared to call and are waiting to have a nice hand again and that did not come

This is play normally seen if the opponent has around 10BB or less. It would depend on how many where seated and what everyone else's chip stack is like. if it's final table, short handed and your not chip leader I think getting it in with any A is fine the chances are your ahead and sometimes the blinds are so big that just picking up a few really make a difference, afterall the chap won. I'm not sure he's relying on total luck here. He's maybe even sensed your fear and has used his position on you very wiseley. Congratulations anyway nice result.

had such an all-in-with everything guy in todays tournament at my table and you are right.. this downed me too .. and this guy was much better.. first player i would pigeonhole to "any others"-category cant remember a player seeing all flops in a tournament until his preflop-all-in death you can imagine how the chat looked then
