I just got beat 2 hands before with a 2 outer - no complaints only called as I was chip leader at the time got lucky flop they got luckier river - but this hand pissed me big time.

won that hand I was chip leader by a big margin

Dam

BUT on brightside my account has over $200 from nothing 2 weeks ago

WOW. All in after the flop with squat. That sucks Jones T.

Level XVIII - How close were you to the money?

I feel for you Jones. I just never understand that kind of reckless play. Especially from a big stack, when the guy your up against can hurt you. That was half his stack he was risking on runner-runner. And PS rewards the idiot. Go figure.

I made the money - but it was only $18.33 first place was 1.3k he bubbled the FT - JUSTICE may be me willing him to lose -

he was chip leader and kept calling with SH*T, the guy that caught his 2 outer came 4th so justice.

the first bad beat was A6 suited v AK flop AK6 (can't remember turn) river 6 - didnt mind that who wouldnt fold 2 pair with blinds that big and short stack

Iidiot move and he gets bailed,thats probably the way that fisghbuilt his stack in the first place.He wasnt bluffing,he was just plain out stupid.

Truely awful play on his part and I feel for you, Stars rewards the retards again!

Is there any reason you didn't go all-in preflop? Blinds etc are 24k and you have 54k so an M of just over 2, by limping you were commited to going all-in on any flop IMO, why not push and make it a basic showdown. Your stack was big enough to hurt or knock out anyone and I don't think even fish boy would have called your all-in preflop.

Jones, why is your computer still working? It would have been in pieces if it was me. I do have to agree with Matt though that a raise preflop was in order, but from the move this guy made, I don't know if it would have worked or not. Just remember that you were the favorite, and guys like that is why we earn money over time. You lost the battle, but can still win the war.
