This is why i hate BR management playing at these levels is pure luck

DOHHHHHHH

Would u rather get it in with Kings on the bubble and be called by someone who has waited for aces?

I can't believe u are annoyed about being called by rubbish hands, its just perfect.

In tournament poker ur gonna get called with junk at all levels, coz sometimes its the right call with any 2 cards.

PLAY CASH! - Play down the streets, and get your money in when you know you are a big favourite.

If you're taking the tourny route, u know u're gonna be on the end of these sorts of things, and if u can't handle it, it can send u on tilt and cost u big-time.

Yea i want these calls i know that. KK v 88 one and QQ v A4 one was almost a dream. the floped 2 pair 10's and 7's v the K10 was the one tht hurt most, not because of the beat but the way it happened. To flop top two get you money in 75% and lose without a K comming out.
