Is this the norm???

I raise 200.00 with KK`s and get two callers. Folp is A 10 10. I check. One goes all in, the other calls, I fold. 8 on the turn and the river is a J. Stupid jackasses had a Q2 and the other had 8Q . Good Lord, Its been like that all day. What gives??????

If it was a freeroll, yes. If it was a ring game add them to your friends list, and pm me their names so I can add them to mine, lol

raised 200 from where? what were the blinds? maybe your raise wasn't big enough. at any rate it gave you ammo to kick ass later.

Raised $200 in a ring game? If you're raising standard 4x BB, blinds must be at $25/$50.

...So, you're playing 5000NL and you're asking if this is standard?

maybe they thought you were just bluffing and yes many players just call every bet that you make online , and maybe they were already on tilt. how much did you win on this hand?

Its just unlucky and not normal but you couldn't call really because there are so many hands that could beat you.

They say high stakes players can 'see into souls'. What a move by the Q8 representing the T xD

In all honesty it was a good call. I would immediately think one of them or both of them had an ace. It sucks having that as a flop with KK, but you pretty much have to fold 'em. You did the right thing, no matter what they had.

PLAYER NOTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, use your player notes, these two are walking chip dispensers, make a note on their names and pray you get to sit with them again.
bwrobbel is right, I know its against the norm for freeroll play but I would rather be bluffed out of a hand than kicked out of a tournament. it was the right call and you gatherd some valuble information for later hands or games.

I see that constantly in play money tourneys on fulltilt.

I love sitting back and watching about 5 or 6 slotters get dropped from the tourney in the first hand, heh. Of course, it sucks in the end simply because the lucky slotters have tons more money in the early game.

I just bide my time and wait for the hand that'll hurt 'em, though

Either this is play money or this is Zimbabwean dollars, which, come to think of it, is also play money.

Fish like like will build your bankroll more than deplete it. Just stay patient and you will pick them apart. Best of luck to you.

you did the right thing, that would give Fold therefore imagine

that one of his opponents has as one of its A

The pair of letters making. but already seen it several times

in freeroll tournaments, as they play without any calculation .

But in tournaments with buy in difiucilmente this happens

I just so happen to have several $1000 dollar Zimabwe notes I kept for practicle jokes from a trip to South Africa few years ago. The curent value is dramatically less than blank printer paper. Though the currency has no value their coins do have some cool designs.
