    Y is it bad? coz he was behind?

    It's a tough spot.........

    Raise more pre-flop, 200/250.....(your normal raise size +1)

    Flop is good.

    Turn is good.

    River is just a rough spot. Good bet by villain btw. Ugh. With the blinds at 25/50, u can fold comfortably and be okay to play the tournament.....but....ugh. Yeh looked back you can't beat anything, but the bet is so inviting.

    Would have been a really good  fold, - as it was, great bet by he other guy

    Don't beat yourself up about it.

    I don't think i'd put them on the straight but theres a lot of hands beating you on the river, i'm folding. The 600 is better in your stack than being called with second pair imo.

    Yeh I guess with alot of things in poker, there's a right or wrong....

    But there must be something that makes some players better than others, and it's getting decisions like this right.

    U gotta figure it out  and make the right click !!!

    in my opinion its a bad call, his pre flop/flop raises were called so to me he should of known he was beat.

    you have been playing for 3 days according to your profile, so to be so dismissive of a play is abit harsh.

    When he raised pre flop, and on the flop, and his opponent called twice, he was not beat...

    The guy hit his card on the turn (and burn slowed down - perfect)

    Then he value bets perfectly on the end - it's never a bad call. 

    Pretty gud stuff by both players imo.

    So everytime someone calls and then bets into you then you'll fold? Come sit at my table please. Poker isn't black and white like that. I said that it's a fold but he could easily be bluffing and it's a great call. That's what the game is about.

    well played burn in fairness that could of easily cost you alot more, it was a bet which was too hard to turn down on river lol! unlucky but well read to slow down on turn. One thing u may like to take on is to bet more pre with that starting hand but all in all it was just unlucky and played well by the villain

    re-raise more pre 200-250, flop good bet size would same but would be more cos my initial pre-raise

    good check on turn, not many not calling river imo although beaten by alot of hands very good bet by villain. looking back easy fold but in heat of momment takes a very good player to lay that down
