How did this guy win the tournament? (LC, bad beat, site is rigged)
 

Please don't flame me for this. I originally posted this in the BBV forum, because villain's calls were so fishy I thought it ws a curiosity. This hand occurred early in the tournament. However, villain (jtenute28) won the tournament (134 runners). This was a freezout PLHE tournament. Does this guy have the random number generator cracked? Was he drunk. How does someone so bad win a tournament? This looks fishy in more ways than one.

Those bluff donkeys either go bust very early or get a pile of chips and bluff their way to the top.

His postflop could be interpeted either way, but preflop is just horrible.
Althought, the buy-in is 30$, so he may simply not care at first.

His flop raise is not a bluff. There was 4200 in the pot and I needed to call 325.

Really, didn't notice he has you covered my much.
Then the only explanation, that he just didn't care about the 30$.
Nobody is that bad.

It's only 1 hand. You made the assumption that he may have the RNG cracked. If that's the case, based on this one hand, then there are a bunch of idiots who have the RNG cracked. If it's more than 1 hand that led you to that possible conclusion, then post more hand examples. This guy was just a plain donkey, maybe didn't care if he went bust, time to get some sleep, drunk like you said, etc...

I don't want to seem like a paranoid online poker is rigged type, but could he have the random number generation cracked?

I thought 'dise had the most legit card generater- audited by PWC and everything?

I lost the $3rebuy last night after 3.5hours when my QQ lost to Q6.....I guess QQ's are not all that.

I wound up in finishing 9th in a 250K tournament on Paradise where I went to the final table in 3rd after I lost allin preflop with QQ versus T8s. In that case, the guy with T8s played reasonably.

I don't mean to chronicle bad beats. I didn't think much of this initially. I just thought it was strange that this guy won the tournament after limp calling 8xBB preflop with 53o and essentially calling allin on the flop with a gutshot and no other reasonable outs.

I've seen so much of this behavior I can't say I'm shocked...in a $80+8 satelite on ladbrokes.com, a guy called two all-ins (after some initial raises and reraises) w 8Ts. First Hand, no rebuys. Incredibly, my KK held up [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Pretty much the only way you can't win a tournament is by folding every hand. It looks to me like he probably didnt realize how many chips you had behind and tried to semi-bluff his draw. Not a good play, but fairly common. I wouldnt even rule out that this guy could be a winning long term player based on this hand alone.
