Once I saw that he had 4's and only 2 outs preflop I knew I was going to lose. There really is a doomswitch and now I know why it's called riverstars. I always lose on the river! Oh, I would have had mad chips if I won.

Over/under on the response time of somebody saying "LOL donkaments," anyone?

Don't minraise preflop that just increases the chance of you seeing a flop. In donkaments you just go allin when ever you have a big pair. If you just shoved preflop you would have won.

ROFL did anyone see that he said he'd have mad chips with a T4k?

I didn't min raise, I raised enough to put him in, converter error. And yeah it was a 180. I could have made the FT with 5,000 chips there.

sry I don't know the structure but 4.5k or whatever doesn't seem like mad chips regardless of structure. I do feel for you in the poker sense though

But don't you want pocket 44s to call his stack when you have KK?

it was one of those turbo lightning short stack cannonball tournaments where they all started off with 50 chips, blinds start at 100/200 with antes of 25 and the levels go up every 5 seconds.
