Posted by pinotte: I was playing a small freeroll on 888 when this hand came. Five players all in as follow Kd Kh, Ac As, Qh 7h, Ad Ah and 10d 10c. Many players are complaining about Stars RNG but this hand was on 888 which IMO does not have a better one.
Still a crazy hand to be quite honest. I would not rather be the guy with the other AA for sure.

It is very unusual to see this many players in an all in situation. I can understand the Kings and Aces going all in but the player with pocket Tens must have gone all in first because he could never have called two all ins

Is is a rare one indeed. You dont see such games often. The most disappointed from this hand, was the one with aces that lost. I have been there in both situations, losing and winning the hand with a flush and i know how it feels.

given the amount of hands generated in online poker it probably happens more often than you might think. It would still be quite rare I think. It is amazing how many times I have lost with pocket aces. It seems more often than I have won. It also seems as though the majority of the time it is with a hand that should not have been played in the first place. I guess that's why that call it poker. Good luck to all at the tables

Everything is possible in a freeroll game. There are so many players in every hand and a lot of them go all in with nothing and create a runner runner suckout. In the first levels it is verry heavy to protect a hand like AA.

I'd say it's hard on the later levels too. I usually use these kinda tournies to try out playing styles which are far from my usual, or just test my skillset in certain situations. We could believe others doing this as well, so this is why there's so much donkplay IMO.

If we are talking about freerolls, with low prizes, then its is almost the same situation in all levels. there are players calling with everything till the end of the tournament. You can see the same gameplay, even in a final table Hard to get to a good point when you have lucky players calling with any two cards and win

I play all these freerolls , I can say that several weeks are happening many strange situations in tournaments , I can not believe sometimes that can be thrown out such cards , there are not many playing poker at such tournaments only all in
