Can anyone tell me why

[Inspirited]

someone would shove 78o utg late in a tournament? i call with ak. he turns a 7. i am eliminated? this kind of stuff is why i stopped playing poker for nearly half a year. i know. theoretically this guy was trying to give me his chips. i just always seem to lose against worse hands in key situations and the other guy's play makes absolutely no sense at all. seems like everybody complains about the same thing. but i know some of you are these idiots who do this stuff and get lucky. like what in the world could be going on in your mind when you do that? tell me donks. you just feeling lucky? u got used to getting lucky the whole tournament and think you're awesome? that's poker? phuck you buddy.

i'm done ranting now. just had to get that off my mind. sucks playing a tournament for hours to be eliminated that way, ya know? i

They were playing in an airport and had a flight to catch? Like I've always said, if you play poker and the thing you worry about the most is getting sucked out on, you're doing alright.

Poker is BS> Happens all the time. Quit online and play live.

[daneblazer]

yes, because the odds live are that much different than from online.

The guy was trying to represent a strong hand in a jam situation UTG with live cards. AK is probably only a 60-40 favorite, not really a suck out. Arguably, you are donk for calling a all-in from the guy UTG with just AK. He was representing a very strong hand and could of easily had AA or KK.

No, the guy was not representing anything. He was just a phucking retard. If he was a legit player, then I would have considered folding, but he was just a phucking retard.

It depends on opponents stack size and the size of the blinds, IMO. If he had a small stack he may have felt he would no longer have fold equity once the Blinds hit him again. If that was the case, he knew he was going to have to gamble at some point to have a chance at winning and 78 would likely be "live" cards if called. To a hand like AK he was just a little less than a coin flip.

Not saying it was correct, but depending on his stack size it actually may have been. Your better off to shove any two cards then to lose your fold equity once the Blinds hit you and diminish your stack to the point where your going to get multiple callers when you do finally shove.

How many BB did he have when he shoved UTG? It is possible this was the correct play for him depending on what his stack size was and the size of the blinds. I'm guessing that's probably not the case in this situation since he must have had more chips then you, but it's possible you were both short stacked.

I imangine large stack trying to bully or bad intuition

[daneblazer]

The answer here is simple. His lucky number is 87

[nomeansno]

He was stealing, and everyone was probably nitty as hell at the table, so it is profitable in the long run. Your call was standard ofc, can't win all of them. Sucks when it happens late, but it's part of the game. Also lol at him repping AA,KK

[lolguy999]

haha, usually UTG shoves can get me 'personally' to fold down AQ if im playing at a high buy-in event (20$ or more) UTG shoves signifies STRENGTH. And really suitted connectors are 20% minimum win rate overall against any hand that doesn't have a pair that coincides with one of your hole cards (e.g. 77 vs 76o). I would fold up to 99 to a shove UTG because really unless you can tell the man's tilting you don't mess with him unless you've got some form of "the nuts" AK, KK ,AA, QQ. Really, those 4 hands only. The chances of you or any other of the remaining 7 players having those 4 specific hands is low and he wanted to bet on the fact that the 8 of you dont but (un)fortunately for him you had one of those hands and called but he still turned you with a 35% win rate.

Im not trying to be mean but just sayin that in poker sometimes you just gotta get in there and gamble...

[Czu81]

I'm shoving any two for fun, I just like flipping

[scarface2738]

for the lulz??

[homerbush]

It is not two card poker the best two hole cards do not always win. I hate when people get mad when their higher pocket cards lose. Find a new game.

um how big were blinds how much did he have etc? its possible that he thought he wasnt gonna be able to make it through the blinds and still have chips left, he might as well be the agressor. i think more details would be a great idea.
