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

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.

Yes, but the T8s guy didn't go on to win the tournament like this guy did. In fact he got knocked out.
