just my 2 cents.

just following up your statement with my support!
i hate a bad beat as bad as the next guy and some times i dish them out...lol although not usually with 85 off, unless it ends up being a bb special. and if thats the case then shame on the guy holding KK for tryin to slow play.
anywho i too will yell at my poor lil innocent computer, but wont lash out at some one for winning the hand. it just pushes me to learn......something although i'll say my piece, but in a nice way-lol, if he deserves the donk of the year award!

yeah i never understood people that did that they are bluffing at a pot that has nothing in it and have nothing to gain from it and usually the guy going all in has an ace or pocket pair to be going all in and the guy that bluffed u off doesnt even have a high card

That's called collusion and is a violation of tournament rules, subject to a penalty. You can get away with it online, but you'll get an earful in a live tourney.

you couldnt be any more right...i agree with you 100%..theres no point at betting at it...especially when theres more of a chance knocking someone out with more players in the pot...but thats what people do..i wish they wouldnt do that but people play like idiots sometimes..good luck with that in the future...

Sadly i see this happening even more now with the knockout tournaments on full tilt poker. the fact that there is a bounty at stake doesnt change anything. you should still only bet if you know you will put the all in person out. it never ceases to amaze me how many stupid people are out there playing this game.

Yeah couldn't agree more, but still people keep on doing this with like a gutshot straight draw or ace high.I saw a shortstack triple up once with jack high cause some random guy bets out with a gutshot straight draw.Hate it, don't understand why they do it either.

I totally agree. I have seen it so many times where someone pushes allin and after the flop someone makes an overbet to buy the pot knowing that they have crap and wind up if not doubling the allin, sometimes even tripling or quadrupling.

I also get irritated when you have 2 or 3 people call with crap cards call the allin, when 1 or 2 other people you know have good hands have already called. Why risk giving the shrt stack that many chips.

i mostly see this kind of stuff during freerolls or small buy in tourneys, maybe youll get lucky once in a while but most of the time the best cards do win, so my advise is that before makeing a big allin decision, look at what the other players in the hand have for chips, if you like the odds and there in your favor, go for it, if you lose, at least you made the right choice and youll be a better player doing so, for the donks going all in with chit, they mostly lose or even if they luck out---or---suckout, they donk the winnings within 10 or so minutes, lol,,,stick with your game and if its tight,its right

Everyone here is right, common sense says to check it down unless you flop a monster hand. Even after flopping a monster the bets should be small.
