I think the latter TBH. He was the one doing all the raising, I was just calling it. I'm aware from the POV of my own game I shouldn;t have called as I had a very weak hand, but I was just doing it for the sake of it as it was low stakes (as he had very little) and I had just had a couple of good wins, so I felt like going in it for the sake of it.

Then he accused me of just p*ssing about and not wanting to actually play poker... Which is rediculous as I was by far the chip leader on the table by playing and winning with a lot of good hands

Just achieved my second BBP tournament win, from 496 players, I win 300 BBP, so I'm not so upset about the AK hand I mentioned at the top of the page.

Nice one :thup:

That was the 12:20 one I see. I was in the 11:20 and was doing really really well, but had to go because of a lecture

I did however get a KKKK hand (KK in hand, so it wasn't one of them scummy 4 of a kinds you sometimes get) which I was amazingly pleased with :cool:

I think he had a point to be honest. A big stack isn't necessarily a sign of a good player btw.

Also, as the rest of the table were such wimps I didn't even get a very big win off it

The AA v KK and a A K x flop reminds me of the very worst feeling I've ever had in poker when I was the AA. I got all my chips in preflop (I knew what he had, it was PL so he was only rerereraising with KK or AA) and the first card flopped was the A. I felt like I'd been kicked all over when the case K came on the turn. A friend of mine at the table was concerned for my health as I went white. To be honest, I was. God knows what my blood pressure went to.

I know that, but at the time I was actually playing very well (it wasn't like 1 or 2 massive wins I got then p*ssed about), i'd been playing well for quite a while consistantly getting decent sized wins, so it p*ssed me off to be accused of not playing the game.

If it was a deliberate effort for me to string him along then I agree that would probably be a bad thing, but I stayed in because the stakes were low and hoping for somethign to show up, when it didn't there was little point me folding when to stay the course would have cost me perhaps 1% of my stack.

Giving your chips away is seldom good play. Unless you deliberately want to keep a low stacked player in then it's simply bad play, and you got lucky. I'm guessing you wouldn't have made the call if you were playing with your own money.

[retired_jennifer89889]

Certainly not Naa, as I said earlier, I just had a couple of good wins and was playing not as a joke, but not overly seriously as I tend to let myself stay in for hands that are long shots when i'm on a decent run.

Well after 3 hours of play in the 6:20pm tourney of 800 I finished 32nd. My highest finish ever, but just 5 short of the places that would get me some BBP's

I was doing quite well but got dran into a big hand which ultimately beat me. I had A10, the bloke AA. The flop turned up another A and the river a 10, but obviously AAA &gt; AA1010
