Default Please god have mercy!

I have lost about 10 $5 sit & go's in a row now, this is amazing but i just wanted to share this pain. I couldn't get any HH converter working for FTP S&G, anyone know of a working one?

This is the first hand in a $5 S&G, i find 33 OTB and everyone limps, so am i. When it gets around to the BB he makes it 4xBB, two fold and everyone else calls.

The flop comes 234 rainbow, SB checks, BB bets the pot (half his stack), everyone folds except me who raise him all in, SB folds, BB calls, with A5 offsuit!

that is just sick and makes me puke.

So he called 80 chips and won how many?

Sounds like good implied odds to me.

Way to get 95% of your stack in whilst behind.

Did you even read the post?

Who the hell raises 4xBB from the BB (edit: with A5 off) when the whole field has limped? It can certainly not be for value.

An the other guy, if you try to tell me that $50 is not much money for you, it is 1/8 of my whole bankroll - not everyone plays high stakes poker.

I barely make a small profit from poker and i think it is fun to play when i'm better than most of the competition at the $5 tables.

I tried to get some sympathy but people seems to be annoyed that i whine here in the "beats and brags" section so why not just rename it to "Brags only"?

We like beats but only if they're good.
The one you listed is sooo standard and not even a bad beat, just a cooler.
