You'd pay for this AKo

Shove villain often followed with Q8o AKo J7s but ending up beating better hands as happened here right near the bubble. But regardless of it's a $ 0.01. Does it apply? Would they pay?

sometime luck goes against us. Knowing you will win a majority of the time makes it an easy call every time.

That's a PS special. You are leading until the river and BLAM!!! Tough beat. I hate when I get it in good and get this kind of suck out. But, that's poker. The worst part is, he probably thinks he made a good play. I don't understand the shove when he was first in the pot. He could have opened more reasonably.

And it does not happen only in micro limits. I played a $ 11.00 KO in the last UFC series and had lots of players this way!

I would’ve called that as well. Just unlucky. More often than not, you’ll crush him as long as he continues to play that way
