Ouch ..this can happen to the best of us this is why poker is "gambling" when this suck out type plays happen to me i stay at the same table and try and catch the donky off guard use some patience and you will get it back
Pretty bad... but why did you call 530 on the flop when you had Ace high ? so you were actually behind pre flop and on the flop then got lucky and hit your ace then a bit of bad beat.

that is a fair point george25. The reason i called the 530 was because the two players in this hand were very loose and playing with garbage betting big to scare people to win the pots. I was pretty sure that no one had a king in their hand which turned out to be right. I will confess though that the guy with pocket tens was raising with anything so I didn't see that one coming with his pocket tens I had no faith in his poker skills. I was behind on the flop but on the turn I was winning when my all in bet was made

very true, we never complain when we are on the other end of one. Mind you I usuually acknowledge to the other player I made a bad call & got lucky if they can play poker well rather than being a fish

Posted by lucky7s: Playing a private freeroll & I am getting sick of being beat on the river when all in on turn. There were three of us in the hand from the beginning.
the problem in this hand is that you call in the pre flop a hell of a raise over 10 times the big blind!!! AQ is nice hand but it is ev- to call in the beginnig of the tournament with this hand and in flop why the hell you call with A high you only beat bluff

Thanks riina for your contribution. I will admit it was a big gamble calling theses raises but out of 10 players on the table 7 were sat out so these 2 players were putting in big raises with garbage most of the time just to steal the blinds. I just thought I had the best hand pre-flop(wrong),flop(wrong) & turn(right). i was sure no one had a king in their hand the way they had been playing(right). I just didn't think anyone had a pocket pair

I don't like playing freerolls, so many donks. Why don't you reraise before flop to isolate? You're only going to hit an ace or queen on flop 33% of the time. Oh well, would have been the same result.

how many times does it have to be said? don't whine about your "bad beats" on freerolls. they're FREEROLLS. keyword being FREE. so the crappiest players are going to be in the game. you can't expect them to make smart moves.
