That's nothing, I pushed preflop with Kings have 3500 at 75/150 and some guy (who I'm not naming but I'm sure he's nice :D) called with 83 of spades. He flopped nothing but a spade and hit running spades. WTF!
maybe you shouldnt be shoving without a made hand then LOL and most times it doesnt matter if you have AA or KK lol
Great call! the kid is a pro and must know worst hand always in on carbon.
I seriously see more hands that should not win end up winning. its extremely ridiculous
yes it is! and happens way too often! just remember in the long run, luck runs out!!
I had to fold as again at my local mtt...
Anytime you are dealing with freerolls, you should always expect the unexpected. Many players just don't care due to the fact they have nothing personally vested! It is the ones that act like this in high stakes MTT's that I think should have there heads examined!!!
Pre-break in Carbon freerolls can be hellish for this type of play. There are some who would rather go out early then go into the break below top ten, there are some who will call ANY shove with ANY two if they have you covered, and there are some whom as soon thier stack drops below starting level shove any ace, king, pp, suited or connected.
Post break, a lot of the Big Stack players will call any shove because they have a known cost to the hand.
And of course as has been mentioned... it's a freeroll so there are players who a) don't care, b) don't know an better, c) are experimenting.
One last thing to consider are LLB's. There are a few guys here who play ONLY for the llb's, and once they win them...they just bail unless they are at the top of the heap. Yes it's lame, but they don't give a shit.
What does this all mean? I don't know because even if you take all of the above into account... there is the merge action deck to consider.......
Best to lower your expectations.
WOw. TON I think you covered it all. Those are all really good explanations and you wrote them exactly how I told you to. Good job :)!!
Lol thank you Sensei :pQuote:

Its a free roll u have to expect the madness. They will shove or call a shove hoping to be against ak or aq
they call because they do not care. and you get pissed because you care. its simply not fair i know.
The only really good hand lineup to see when you're all-in preflop is KK vs. K2off. In this match up, KK wins ~92% the time, but any other hand vs. other hand the odds of your hand holding up is not so great. AA vs. suited connector is like 66% - so 1 out of 3 times you will lose. With variation, you could easily lose 10x in a row to suited connectors, which is why all the winning tournament players RARELY push all-in preflop and EVEN MORE RARELY call all-in preflop.
If you want loose PF, simply fold :-) but that means that you will be never able to win this way. Think about it.

Yup freeroll if your playing them your a busto clown anyways. No one respect your raises. You got to move up to where someone does. Your not out any money stop complaining. :D anyways better luck next time with dem freeroll moniesQuote:

How many chips did you have before you lost?
okkk I got 1st on the bovada game. unfortunately this does nothing for my stats on here apparently.
Ive been getting sucked out on everything ive played this week dont matter what site ..running like bellande and its starting to piss me offf
Be thankful for all of idiots you are able to play with ! Idiots are needed to boost recreant players like most of us, so don't swear!
i agree tracy, but we must remind that this is only valid for sites that have a decent algorithm(in wich merge net is unfurtunally not included.... :( ), but besides that yes, i totally agree with you, and best hands will make it through in the long run ...... :)Quote:

You want to tell a bad beat story went all in with AA against KK I look down not a single K falls I think I won the chips start going in his direction I'm like wtf king high flush I had ace of hearts ace of spades he had the king of diamonds.
Freerolls = people will call with any hand. It's online poker....and it's a free tournament.
I think you cover it all
It happens its a freeroll
some people just dont know what they are doing,lol.. it is a good question to ask though!
