A 'mistake' at a Sit-n-Go Tourney...

[tantalos]

10-seat Sit and Go tourney at an online poker room. 7 people remaining. I have the 2nd biggest chip stack at the table, behind the chip leader.

I get J-J preflop, and the guy before me (who has the smallest chip stack on the table) goes all-in.

I decide to JUST call his all-in. The next 4 people fold, and the final player to act raises all-in.

I put him on a higher pair than me or even A-K, but since I was committed to the pot, I decided to call his raise.

We turn over our cards. The guy before me, who had opened the pot, showed an A-J os.

The guy who raised all-in shows.... 8-3 off suit! ! !

I'm thinking that, at least, even if an Ace shows up, I'll have the chips of the guy who raised with 8-3 os.

Flop : 2-4-5
Turn : A
River : J

The guy after me gets the whole pot with a straight. Just for the record, If he hadn't entered the pot, I would have been saved at the river with a miracle third Jack.

However I was completeley amazed at this. I asked "What was that?" and he only answered "A mistake", probably yelling with excitement behind his monitor.

Needless to say, I went all in with my remaining chips on the very next hand with K-4 spades and lost.

I just wanted to share this with you guys and let off my frustration. I've been playing on line poker for more than 18 months, this has been the worst bad beat I ever had by far.

Oh , in case you wonder, YES, I think (and Hope!!!) it was just a mistake. I hate to think that guy was equipped with any suspicious "predict the flop ,turn and river cards" program running together with his poker software..

Thats all....

Well it was either a mistake or his play was terrible. I have gone all-in by mistake once or twice and thankfully havnt been called As for cheat software its highly unlikely that it exists but you never know.

Guess what. Went all-in with A-J , and sb . calls me with J-3 , just because he "wanted to leave because he was hungry". Hit a 3 on the flop, and thats it.

This whole day has been like that to me. On one other tourney, I went All-in with A-K and sb. calles me with J-Q and hits a Queen on the river....

Almost makes a player want to quit playing poker online You'd never see that in a B&M casino unless they were trying to steal and get caught..

Once when I was 'catsitting' the damn CAT jumped up and managed to make a huge reraise with some random crap. The raiser before me went all in and I had to call with my last chips.

Not very surprising the other guy got AA. I hit trips on the flop for a nice 200$ profit - and the cat didn't demand more than a few herrings for reward.

Maybe you should let the cat play more often...(s)he obviously knew what the board cards were going to be and and didn't want you to fold!

Does the people you were catsitting for want to sell this cat??

It could been a mistake call. It happen to me when I am playing at 3 different table and then a pop-up screen comes up from the other table and I clicked raise or even fold when I didnt want to do that. One time I raise 3-5 suited cant remember what the flop was but I had a straight then a flush and I kept on raising and he kept on calling it. I tooked him for $500. He got upset and complains for a hour why I raise 3-5 preflop. It's my money and I do as I want.

[Boomx2Brian]

Well if you were willing to go allin, you should have gone allin to begin with, that way the odds of the guy with 8-3 folding is much more likely

[bentness]

He is most likely lying.

I have seen so many callers of all in bets at the 10 dollar level with A10 and Aj its ridicolous.
