why do people call when they know they are beat??

[menthemaster]

man.... this stuff amazes me still.

just played a 20+2 sit and go on ultimate bet.... and down to 6 people.

i get dealt A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and raise in late position. one caller.


(i am second in chips with 1800)


FLOP comes J 3 9


i put the caller ALL in.. for 800 chips.


he writes : "well, i am pretty sure you have me beat... but i can still get runner runner... or hit my last 2 outs.... so i will call"


yup..... u guessed it... turn is a Q and river is a 10 for his straight...

why would he do that? ugh... pisses me off!


Than my finishing blow in the tournament is 2 hands later when i am the big blind with K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]


2 callers... small blind folds.

flop comes K 9 8


i go all in... and first guy folds.... last guy calls me for about 900 of his 1100 stack... with........... 10 Q


jack comes on river.... and i am out.




does this make sense to anyone? hmmmm.
