Sure sign you're beat

[Toro]

A sure sign that your beat in a hand is when after the flop, your opponent checks and you go all-in and as he calls, he types in the chat box "sorry".

It happened in my last sng and I've posted it for your amusement. It made me laugh when it happened and I don't usually laugh when I get beat. Make sure you don't miss the 'chat' comment from the player who beat me. I actually thought I played it correctly. Comments?

[Navers]

What was your plan when overcards fell? I'm no expert, but isn't it better to push or fold in this situation?

[Toro]

It would have depended. If an A or K fell and he made a respectable bet at the pot, I would have folded. I actually had him on AK before the flop. If he underbet with an overcard I would have come over the top of him and taken my chances that my hand was good.

I would have done what you suggested with QQ or higher. In the early and mid stages of tourneys I don't prefer to go all-in pre-flop if I can avoid it.
