I can't believe these players play 100 dollar stakes
 

These aren't terrible beats as far as % goes, although I am a clear favorite both times.... but just the stupid play amazes me. Freakin online players

We have hand 1 of 1.

*** SHOW DOWN ***

I don't get get it??? I guess I could of raised to put him all in on the flop if I was just going to do it on the turn anyway in retrospect... but I wonder if it would of mattered considering he called with a backdoor straight draw and 1 over card??

then the punk finishes me off WHEN I HAVE THE SAME CARDS!

Maybe you have no skill :p
No really I watch these clowns chase thier bottom pairs to beat me all the time.Sooner or later they lose and will lose more over time.

all in on a pair of 4s? you are just asking to get beat!

I see no bad plays there just bad luck. (If anything could be changed would be your check after the flop in the first hand)

not when I have THE BEST HAND Im not :confused: :confused:

I think leading out wouldnt of done any justice -- if he's prepared to bet and then call a check raise with no pair and only a backdoor draw, then risk his tournament life on a draw with 1 card to come, I cant image he'd fold to a normal bet....
