A good hand to the next 007. Four players in the hand. 2nd weakest (yours) flops a monster and gets bad beaten.
My question is, why the hell you open push with that crap in early position? I know everyone is shotstacked, you pay antes, etc..., etc... But even with that I would wait. And those 1c MTTs are a waste of time, IMHO, unless you are near broke and can't play better. Hyper Turbo + Shortstacked = 1% skill 99% luck.

These tourneys are usually used to blow off steam when you're on tilt. Still I wouldn't be all in with Q8. You can afford to wait a few hands and I'd rather go all in with two low close cards (5 7) (4 6) than q8. You're more likely to have live cards and avoid the trouble of running into Q10 QJ QK QA which are definite callers. You're also more likely to hit a straight and less likely to hit something only for your opponent to hit a fullhouse as it's less likely they hold the cards you need. ofc I'd rather go all in with a monster or just two suited cards. But Q8o is stupid even in this situation.
I'd also add that this is not a bad beat since you did not have the best cards when you went all in. It wud b a bad beat if your cards held up. it's only a bad beat for the AK guy who arguably had to call and made no mistake.

Posted by shokaku: If you don't lose to 5 aces, it is not a bad beat at pokerstars.
And all-in with Q8o? Come on, you can do better.
But a nice made up hand.
It would be easy, they just need to reintroduce the joker wild card. And then 5 Aces would beat a royal flush, but 5A beating a Royal flush would be the ultimate bad beat because a 6th A would be requierd in the deck.

This kind of play is only acceptable at this kind of level. Why do you show this for? Its obvious everyone goes all in at first hand, this tourneys are like lottery, and those who dont go all in at first, play it for fun, not for money. You have to win 1.000 tourneys like this, without loosing, to make yourself a $60 bankroll (you pay $0.01, 1st win $0.06; 1=$0.06 , 10=$0.6 , 100=$6 , 1.000=$60). Seems worst payed than my actual job
