I can't believe these players play 100 dollar stakes

These aren't terrible beats as far as % goes, although I am a clear favorite both times.... but just the stupid play amazes me. Freakin online players

We have hand 1 of 1.

Ilost1again: raises 50 to 100
LUCKY ERLUCE: calls 100
greekr: folds
TheNextThing: calls 50 Im getting over 5 to 1 on my money here, im already partially in and its a min raise. I can understand an arguement for folding, but I don't agree
*** FLOP *** [4d Js 2c]
TheNextThing: checks
Ilost1again: checks weakness
LUCKY ERLUCE: bets 250 maniac, raises most preflop, bets a lot of flops...I am 95% sure I am ahead here.
TheNextThing: raises 400 to 650
Ilost1again: folds
LUCKY ERLUCE: calls 400
*** TURN *** [4d Js 2c] [Kd] don't like the king, but I still think he is empty, and Ive invested too much to fold here for another 400
TheNextThing: bets 450
LUCKY ERLUCE: calls 435 and is all-in
*** RIVER *** [4d Js 2c Kd] [Ad]
*** SHOW DOWN ***
TheNextThing: shows [4h 5h] (a pair of Fours)
LUCKY ERLUCE: shows [Tc Qs] (a straight, Ten to Ace)

I don't get get it??? I guess I could of raised to put him all in on the flop if I was just going to do it on the turn anyway in retrospect... but I wonder if it would of mattered considering he called with a backdoor straight draw and 1 over card??

then the punk finishes me off WHEN I HAVE THE SAME CARDS!

Maybe you have no skill
No really I watch these clowns chase thier bottom pairs to beat me all the time.Sooner or later they lose and will lose more over time.

[viscus77]

all in on a pair of 4s? you are just asking to get beat!

[Govman6767]

I see no bad plays there just bad luck. (If anything could be changed would be your check after the flop in the first hand)

[Zybomb]

I think leading out wouldnt of done any justice -- if he's prepared to bet and then call a check raise with no pair and only a backdoor draw, then risk his tournament life on a draw with 1 card to come, I cant image he'd fold to a normal bet....

[Zybomb]

not when I have THE BEST HAND Im not
