How can people be so....stupid

I was playing a 8$ 18man tourney where the top 5 got a 24$ token and 6th got 14$.
I was most likly going out on the next hand if this guy had just folded his hand,but he couldnt fold AA and i got a token.
Can any one explain his thought process? He was guaranteed(as much as i possible in poker) to tie for first why whould he do something as stupid?
And i love the the big stack 84o push

Ah, the perfect hand example to fold Aces. Anyone who says there is no way they would EVER fold aces here is a clear reason why, nothing gained everything lost. As to why, clearly not a member of Cardschat...

Well that Fillmore was too lucky... Anyway he was a big underdog...

Plain luck, that's all...

3players at the table with a M of 1 or less and he still cant fold .

obvs. not a member or of CC,if he was he whould of KO me earlyer in the tourney

would be interesting (but impossible) to find out a) how quickly he called and b) whether he was multi-tabling.

if he's playing 4+ tables, then he could have just glanced, seen AA and thought - woo hoo. HU with AA.

wonder whether the 84o went on to win?

G

It was a satellite 5 $24 tokens and $14 to sixth place, if was multi-tabling then he needs to stop as it is -ev for him.

It's shocking how few players really know how to play satellites. I once saw a guy go out on the bubble 1 hand before the shortstack was about to be anted out. (not blinded, anted!) And the SS was sitting out, so the guy was guaranteed a ticket, but he couldn't fold AK to an early position shove.

He was probably just trying to steal the blinds. You can't have a hand everytime. Need to steal sometimes.

ppl dont know what they play for...satellites need a totally diff strategy than cash tourneys...looks like someone there didnt read their copy of harrington on holdem. lol

It's a sign of a unhealthy attraction to nice looking hands.

Lol, I understand it's hard to fold bullets pf, but wow, what a tool. At least he gave you his token, lol!

Im afraid if never gotten out of the donk phase

People like him should play Mau Mau and not poker. ;-)
But sometimes i like them, because they give thair money for nothing ;-)

This same instance happened to me months back, yet I folded the AA, thinking it was the right thing to do. When I asked my friend about it, he started flipping out halfway through my telling...I don't event think I ever finished the analysis, past "I folded b/c..."
I definitely blame the site too.

If I am reading it correctly Filmore went all in first
That is just crazy and he is very lucky.

^^ Fillmore is the big stack with two middle of the road stacks to act, that is an easy steal with ATC...He is at this point gauranteed a seat all the pressure is on the middle stacks to survive, so they should have folded with Sindri sitting there M<1. The prize doesn't improve for the chip leader it is still just a token, he just wants someone to bust out nad here if they had both called it is over no matter what.

Yeah, I hear ya on that one. If you're that guy, you must be drinking, or way too confident. There is a time to fold, whether you have AK or AA, and that was one of them.
