Tough break Brad.

Good Game Brad.....I'm amazed at the fish that were still in the tourney that deep. You got screwed, but played nicely.

How did you lose most of your stack? Sounds like it was some bs.

I guess maybe that's right, but I didn't play worse once i posted it, everyone else did and I got screwed. But I guess it happens. Still sucked.

Here is the history with my main villain, who really took me out of hte tourney.

And then my lovely hand... perhaps I shouldn't be opening with A-4, but.... I did have a 22% rate of seeing flops if anyone was paying attention.

And there we have it. A nice return on 20 bucks still, (183.60) but still a bummer. Thanks for those assisting me.

And the other hand that took me down for a while, although I made a comeback after losing this hand..... I am trying to run through the hand and I have no idea whatsoever how he made this play.

IMHO, this is not how you want to play against this kind of villain. Bad players get good cards too, so you shouldn't try and force things with A4o when you pair your four.
