I guess I can vent in this thread,
I played in the 6K Poker Tourney (Bookmaker) yesterday. I'm not that good of a poker player but get lucky sometimes. Anyway $55 buyin 120 players. 15 players left, I'm in 3rd. I get the dreaded AA, I raise in late position, guy goes ALL IN over 20K in chips, everyone else folds, prior to me hitting the call button, I post that I'm about to get popped as AA seems to lose close to the bubble all the time. Guy has 10-7 os, evdiently trying to steal blinds I guess, 2 tens on the flop and another on the riv for 4ofakind. Unreal. Crippled now I go ALL IN with my A9 versus players A8, he gets the 8 on the riv to knock me out. I feel cheated as this donk 10-7os player goes on to win 1st place for $1800. Unreal.
ya i feel you, i just started playing poker more often so ive seen this happen to many ppl including myself. this is one of the reasons i cant stand online tournaments. someone is always trying to buy blinds and gets lucky to knock you out of a good hand. keep it up tho u were obviously doing something right
