I can not even figure why you played this way. You played a $ 7.50 tournament not a 10 cents tourney. It's really weird. Maybe you clicked the call without realize this or miss click for fold button. In the end everything was good for you. Congratulations for that good hand.

Expert play. Who wouldn`t call an all in with 7 high.
But serious, they were both small stacks, and the second one most likely only has a random hand, and is gunning for a double up. Problem, even if we have a bigger stack, we can`t even beat a random hand.
You played the hand because of the bounties with a big stack versus the smaller stacks If there is more pre flop action like a 3 bet or allin from the bigger stacks its a limp fold. AA vs 47 suited anything is possible on jokerstars. https://www.boomplayer.com/en/24079412_AE245E2D74

It is clear that with this 4/7 in any poker tournament is an instant fold, so that input only the hand is very poorly played. Surely your stack allowed you to pay this junk hand for the doubts of seeing if you can get the bounty as it finally happened with all the luck in the world. Also, I'm sure that with this way of playing you should not have gone very far in the tournament.-

well,I only played the hand for the bounty's and almost never play that way,but since I had them both covered,and at this point,the game had already become,a freeroll for me,and you can't get any bounty's if you fold every hand,I know that the way I played and why I played that hand may bother,or may even offend some,I really don't care,why cause it's my buy in,my money,and the tourney was a bounty game so in the end it was worth the risk,I have played many bounty games and won many many bounty's with my highest bounty being $200 playing junk hands. I enjoy playing the game of poker,and as such as with games if you don't take risks and have fun,then whats the point of playing,I would just turn into a grumpy ol troll with nothing better to do then wonder why or how some people like my self play the hands we do,and get lucky every now and the against some pro or wanna be baby phil...lol....any way..I got busted out before the cash with my almighty 88 getting squashed.. I just posted the hand cause to me it was funny to see,and maybe to just to prove a point,but as with things are here, there are always those ones..

It seems that on joker stars 4 7 is a winning combination On a free roll tournament on Saturday I dropped out of an opponent who got 4 7 the difference is that in the flop came 2 5 K 6 8 I had K 6 joker stars

Xxxpokerxxx1...... I love your play and your rationale for it. I recall doing something similar with 82o once and won a whole load of money. Poker is a game of probability and based on what the situation was in this tourney then you played the probabilities quite well.... notwithstanding the odds were not quite right but probably not a million miles away. Well done.

You had the stack to make such a call, which was not the best of course but it worked out well at the end You had two players in that you could get the bounties, with not a big risk of your stack size, so that wasnt too much thinking there

ty and I admit I got lucky,but some times its better to lucky then be good,and it felt good to beat others with crap cards and collected there bounty's. Some people don't seem to understand the bounty tourney's like me I guess,for when I think its the right time to play crappy cards I do,if the situation calls for it,cause in the way I play them,and understand the game you need to take chances if you want to make money playing the bounty games,if you can't take a chance or do some thing a little crazy, them maybe you are playing the wrong game, and should stick to playing regular tourney's........this is my way of thinking about the poker tourney's I play.
This was my best result,last month,I have other wins,but the was the biggest to date: PokerStars Tournament #1962310445, No Limit Hold'em Buy-In: $3.41/$3.41/$0.68 USD 7680 players Total Prize Pool: $52377.60 USD Tournament started 2017/07/16 14:30:00 CT [2017/07/16 15:30:00 ET]

Crazy crazy call but it did work out very well for you. I would never have made the call but sometimes you just get a feeling that the flop is going to be very kind to you and you just have to go with your gut

to be honest you couldnt play worse... you limp from MP with 47 O.o wtf.... than guy on CO with like 15BB shoves and small blind shove also... I know there were bounties and you were targeting SB, but your equity even with bounty involved is terible with 47off... I would call all in with 47 if I was only player involved with him, and I think that is mathematicaly correct... he had like 4,5BB and with bounty involved 47 is call... but now when there is other guy with 15BB shoving there... your 47 doesnt win much of time... you would have to be preaty lucky to win there...and If you want to take SB bounty you should at least open 3x or maybe even biggerlike 3,5x or even 4x there...but all in all it was bad play... you should wait slightly better cards, and you didnt have position to target SB bounty from there, specialy not with limp...
A very strange game ... probably 4 and 7 is some kind of mystical maps ..... like 10 and 2 for all the famous poker player))) .... but of course in this situation you are very lucky ... And if I met this at the table, I would certainly be very furious with this approach ...

I think the worst hand I saw was on a final table,on stars,where 1 guy had aa and the other guy 24 suited,the guy with aa raises of course some thing 3x the bet,the other guy re-raises him,the guy with aa go's all in,the other dude with the 24 calls instantly the board plays out and the guy hits with his 24 on river with flush hearts,can you imagine what that would do to some guys,here.. Any way good discussion,about how you can get beat bye any thing,bye any one,at any time,doesn't matter how good you think you are,cause there are guys like me and lady's too,who at any time will call you r best cards and beat you,just too remind you,that it can and will happen too you.............
I just never realized how poorly some of you would respond,I know now why some other regs don't bother posting things in this forum any more and choose not too.

I would take 24s all the time instedad of 47off... you have a lot more equity with 24s... you have str8 possibility, you have flush possibility, and you can hit pair... with 47 you are phucked...

I had K 6 
joker stars
