hey, c'mon! it's really bad to lose this way, but things like this happens all the time.. there were 9 outs for him after the turn if I'm not wrong, which means you had about 20% to lose

Im ok with that, just a bit pissed
now I prefer to think that I wouldnt win next tourney in order to qualify Ps: if someone wants an advice about these freerolls, better play cash games, sng's etc, earn 15$, and register for the tourney, that was a waste of my time ;p

I think I will not agree with you pal... freerolls are nice... I consider it one of the hardest form of tourneys, cause you have to deal with so many "Zulu" guys and maniacs!.. I agree that sometimes all your hard efforts may go to waste due to a bad beat, but it's a great way to build a bankroll.. at least that's what I've been doing so far at PartyPoker... actually I'm playing one right now... wish me luck!

not saying they are not nice! (even if sometimes there is some donks playing and going allin with 2/J and winning against your A/K) I learnt much with them, I started my bankroll that way also, but now that things are going well to me, it looks like a waste of time.. anyway I still play them, probably not playing those turbos tourneys (monthly millions, 300k gtd) because there is much luck involved, but bankroll builder are really nice, I even qualified for this saturday bankroll builder

yea i play the australian ones in fact im deep in one right now (29 left) that sucks but when u have small pair agianst aces that sucks also nice games bro
Not such bad luck. You were in a "flip coin situation" and just in the bubble so ... maybe your choice of pushing was not so good. You had 50% to win but you lost. Nothing to do.

Posted by Kristan: Yea man, thats what happens playing low pp. And as big slick was on bb it was easy call for him. Unlucky, but I would of folded 55 there 100%!
it was an hard choice, believe me, but that guy was winning every hand, and I thought, nobody will pay a BB on his blind, and he couldt be that lucky all the time, so it was like the best moment to do so, or I could have waited for the blind in the next rounds, who would force me into allin, and all the other guys would have paid to kick me out also with maybe a big hand or a poor one..
