I think the guy who knocked me out of a Paradise $10 NL multi the other day gets the idiot of the week award.
It's only the 2nd level of the tournament and the blinds are 15/30. I still have about 1400 chips. I have this moron just barely covered. I too had picked up QQ. I'm in MP and it's folded to me. I raise it up to 150 and get three callers. The flop was x5x-with two clubs. Both of the x's were higher than 5, but they are of no matter. All rags, a great flop for QQ I think. Unless somebody slowplayed AA or KK (which has happened to me) I have the green light. I lead out for 500 and get one caller. The turn is another rag but it put a third club on the board. I bet 500 again, and again he calls. The river is the Kc. I'm getting the feeling I'm screwed, but I'm pot committed. If I check, I'm sure he's gonna bet, so I just move all in. He calls. I couldn't believe what this asshole showed me. He had the Ac5s and knocked me down to 90 chips by rivering the nut flush. Sure his pre-flop call was idiotic, but his call on the flop is what really takes the cake. This retard called down 1/3 of his stack with bottom pair/top kicker and a backdoor flush draw(2:1 pot odds on a 4:1 draw to hit two pair or trips). I mean you gotta wonder what these people are thinking, if they even think at all. The only correct thing this moron did, and I'm sure it was quite by accident was call my turn bet. With 14 outs (9 flush cards, 2 fives, and three aces) he was a 2.3:1 dog to beat my queens, and the pot was laying him slightly over 4:1.
Boy was I steamed, I was down to 90 chips and there were still over 300 players left in the tournament. I just typed "lucky" and I got this comment yet again- "It's your on fault stupid, you kept on betting." Do these people get these lines from some book or something? I had some other moron say almost the exact same thing when he rivered a two outer and beat my pocket kings. Excuse me? Since when is betting with the best hand stupid? And calling a huge bet with bottom pair is genius poker.
Very next hand I get 44, I'm so steamed, and at this point know I have no chance, I move all in and nearly the whole table calls. As luck would have it, Mr "any ace in a race" ended up winning this pot too and knocking me out in 331st.
