I don't quite understand the title of your post. It implies that your opp played a hand stupidly, then got lucky but then you got luckier as some sort of justice.

The only thing that I could qusetion your opp on was calling your re-raise pre-flop with only 55 but I assume this was a tourney and as he was short stacked it looked to me like he was getting more or less pot committed. Or he was hoping you were pushing AK and not a pair.

Or did you have some history with this guy? Really don't get it.

was wondering about that myself - what's the full story - is it because AK looks nicer than 55?

[ddubois]

He called a third of his stack with a tiny pocket pair. He does not have anywhere near the odds to hit a set, and he did not push pre-flop, so he got no fold equity. He played it badly, and I'm glad he lost, because so many times I lose to these low-pair calling-station types.

I guess part of my resentment is also that I tend to overplay AK and get myself into trouble. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

I agree with you to an extent. His hand is better than yours pre-flop, you do know? His initial raise was not poor but then his call of your re-raise definately was. With 55 he needs to fold or push here, nothing less. If he would have pushed and you called and the same board came out would you feel differently?

Yes, very. I would have certainly felt sympathy there.

EDIT: I should have re-raised more pre-flop I think.
