LOL @title. Definetly not expected taking into account the stuff I see people shove with on the poker stars and full tilt poker freerolls, I am pretty sure that these guys see J9o as a monster Just know you made the right play and move on with it, try to keep calm about it Better luck next time

It's a freeroll so little surprising, even if it's a top-leaderboard-freeroll, there will still be people that don't care Also, if you would've won you wouldn't have complained either.. just take it as a bad beat and be happy there are players like this.

Well this things happen I played that tournament and it´s as IceQuuenAce its proper quality but even the well played tournaments some times luck walks side by side a donk move By the way I´m out because I made a donk move Just got to keep on trying and pay more attention POKER PLAYING AND FOOTBALL ON THE TV DON´T MIX

thank you
it is weird, I always seem to do well in this game, and I think it is because I am confident in it. it is a good enough standard that I can lose half my chips and still be able to make moves etc
it just feels like it is MY mtt, and I have this belief I will cash more often than not (top 30% paying may well help that though lol)

Definitely a freeroll call if i have ever seen one. These beats are pretty hard to take and i have to walk away from the computer for a while or i will be on complete tilt. You were very unlucky but in the long run you will win more than you lose

not sure anything but 27o surprises me in freerolls anymore (and even in normal micro mtts early stages). Compared to sh1t tons of players shove with early, J9o is a real powerhouse

hah not there are some crazy people in BRM freeroll and most of them are weeded out in the first few levels and at the end of the game, there are less crazy donkeys and more players start to play tight and it is expected as the fishes are weeded out at the end. Anyway good luck mate have fun at the tables and hope you crush them in those freerolls and maybe win the leaderboard and get a lot of cash. Cheers gonna go to sleep now or maybe watch the match between City and Liverpool!

You know many of us mobsters have an idea of what to do when playing poker, but there's something missing in the data you show. We don't know how many chips had the winner before this hand. I don't want to defend his way of playing, and i can see this was still early level, as you were playing with $20 BB, but if he happens to have, let's say, 20k chips, we can at least try to understand his way of playing. If not, J9o is completely throwing chips away, with the enormous luck of getting them back in double just because the table decided that way.
