How does some idiot call with j 7?

[trueking]

there was some stupid kid in a carbon free roll i played last night that had 3k with 50/100 and i shoved pre flop and he calls it?of course he hits his 7 and knocks me out...

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 ) called with 83 of spades. He flopped nothing but a spade and hit running spades. WTF!

[abwil2]

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.

[poophead]

I seriously see more hands that should not win end up winning. its extremely ridiculous

[tracyrickrobby]

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.
