Well that really hurts, what a bad luck to loose this hand with that river. Hope the buy in was not to high for this tourney. But in the long run you will make it for sure...

pretty sick, I've had that happen too me a couple times.
Ages ago, I was playing a tourney (so rake wasn't an issue) and there were 3 of us in the hand and we had built the pot pretty big, I won't go into the hand we had, since it became irrelevant - but at the river the board showed QQQAQ, anyway first to act shoves allin, I call and the last person to act time banks for ages and then folds !!!
Was so fkn funny. Must have been worried somebody had a 5th Q or something

Heh he, yeah, that is kind of funny. Especially if you benefit from it.
I think I have seen a similair hand with some pokerpros. Don't remember who they where, but they were playing heads up, and the folder was a woman.
I could easily get some sort of "mindburn" or something, and do the same thing, just to realize: "Hey! WTF did I just do!?!"

What a nice way to loose, with four of a kind at the table and against an oponent playing with two high cards against a pair but, unfortunately, one of the cards was higher than your pair, which puts you behind. That is one of those hands that probably would put some mobsters speaking again about online rigged poker

That sucks, big time actually, but again thats why poker is fun Still, i don't think i would shove all in with pocket jacks, i mean why you dedided to put him all in, you thought he wanted to steal? In this case you were right, i mean if you have a decent fold to steal, i mean you don't fold every time someone tries to still his call was stupid. Of course you can find statistics of players that resteal a lot and on that case calling with that hand might worth, but in every other case thats a very bad call of his, and be sure that on long term he will be a losing player Anyway, good luck, and at least was a fun hand, it would sucked even more if the hit just a queen on the river
