On my mission to get to a FT on Pokerstars i thought i had did it tonight, 6 hours and 26 min of play for my AK to getting smashed by A8! i was playing the 40k $3.30 rebuy and came 14th Gutted! i mean s**t happens AK dont always win and i had a feeling before i called but i was kinda short stacked with a million in chips with the blinds at 100k so i could not really afford to fold a hand like that and to make it worse i was in the lead till the river, yes im sure u all have had it a million times and it dont any less painfull u just think f**ker But f**k it cashed for $220 and im going to win one of these bad boys soon! anyway just thought i would come on here and cry about it lol anyway GL all

Alway sick when u go that far and fail out just before FT, vul, esp when there was prolly 4k runners and 1st was 10k+, Had the same kinda 8hrs on FT in the 15k Super Stack and fall out in 5th was pissed

Well done ! You won yourself 60-70 more buy ins, and with this money you can play loads of tourneys same stakes.
One more thing tho, you told you were beaten ak vs a8 - i know its sht, but do you remember how many bad beats you made and knocked out players because of that during the 6,5 hours you played ?

Posted by shokaku: It is called riverstars for a reason.
I lose with AK, AQ vs A-rag all the time. So don't mind. It is happening to other people too.
i call it jokerstar and we all know the reason but anyway you did realy well on that one ...so you can play a lot of other one like that and i hope for you you get it next time its possible... i have a friend that won 81 000$ on the sunday million at pokerstar so keep on the good work and hope for the big win

That sucks, but good call anyway, like you said if you're shortstacked and this stage of tourney, you gotta ship it on these hands. Good run anyway, nice cash and I can imagine what the final 5 cashes would have been like.. but still, well done.

omg he is really lucky player but u must note that AA is really easy beaten card so u never know then u can win i play one hand and we play only 3 persons i have 88 and push all in its chips game only about 250000 and he call me with KK and at the flop comes 8 and i won so its never know who win
It doesn't happen on FT only, unfortunately. I oftes lose with higher starting hand, it's software fault Last night I lost with AA against A2 What could I do ??? By the way, congratulations for your 220 next time it will go better

Hello everybody! Bravo is a good job anyway . it will pass next time as it continuously . You had no choice you've made the right decision you would regret even more if you had left to eat by the blinds.
