[johnnybeef]

utg 1500
hero 1000
button 800
SB 1900
BB 2600

folded to hero, who holds kc8c....easy push imo. bb thinks and thinks and thinks and calls and i berate him [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] do i have a right to be mad when a monkey makes a terrible call like this and knocks me out even though he is slightly ahead?

cuz getting busted by a monkey who calls with hands like a3 or 22 in this situation makes me (a very mild mannered guy) absolutely irate [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]. kinda paradoxical eh?

Misread post.

It's normal to be mad, but in the long run it makes you happy

Really it depends on your table image, etc.

It might not have been the best call in the world, but if he read you as stealing or having a small pocket pair, I'd say it wasn't a horrible call because he had 2 suited overcards, and even against a small pocket pair the odds are about 49/51 (a coin flip).

Not a great call, not one I would regularly make, but depending on the read, it might not have been horrible

i had 2 suited overs, he had a3 off.

And if you'd won the hand, this post would be about how great it is to have people call your bets with hands like that and pay you off. He did what you wanted him to, you just lost the hand. You aren't going to win every hand of poker you play.

No he didn't, when you have K high, you DO NOT want to be called by A3.

One of the things that you start learning about SNGs is that you ALMOST ALWAYS want people to fold. If I have AK, I still want people to fold in situations like these. Only QQ-AA like getting called.
