AK was worse because he had 3 streets to exhibit his ability. Wow, just wow.

Eh...lol sataments?

Wow, that's even worse than usual. I'm in awe.

The call in hand 1 is obviously horrible, but the way he mangled hand 2 postflop is just...amazing.

It wasn't nearly as bad, but early in the final table, the monster chip leader (he had like 20K, second was 10K), raised with 88 and called my push (with JJ) for ~7500.

I was 4th or 5th out of 8 at the time, doubled up to chip lead and folded from there while everyone else kamikazed each other. The other big stacks were calling raises, in every pot, ...

I was in a sat once where at the FT guy had like a 2.5x chip lead on the next closest stack 9 left 7 get seats and he donked out before the seat lol. Dont remember exact hands but he literally raised or shoved like every hand for 16 straight or something.

The 2nd hand is leaps and bounds worse.

That's why sats are awwwwwwwwwweeeesssssssommmmmeee.

Course, sometimes you're gonna get knocked out because some assclown wants to be a kingmaker and calls you with his A3o and hits a 3 outer to send you and your KK to the rail. However, it is my belief that a knowledgeable player benefits from this much more than he is hurt by it.

By looking at the stack sizes, he wasn't completely in the clear in Hand 1, but he definitely shouldn't have been calling half his stack with that [censored].

Wow, this happens ALL the time in the micro $3R sats I play for $T, I had no idea that people willing to pay $80 for a $650 event would do the same things.

Yeah, second hand is worse.
