4 ALL-IN's and I get knocked out!!!!

I agree, unless the blinds were about to do significant damage to you, I dunno if I could of called an all in after a raise and a reraise, holding AQs....you had to figure at least one of them had a pair (and you had no idea that youd get 4 callers, im sure you imagined youd be heads up with the reraiser), so at best you were a flip....if they had AK, QQ,KK, or AA you'd be in real trouble. But under no circumstances could you imagine you were a favorite going into the flop...and you werent...you were a flip against two of the hands and a huge dog against the Qs individually...and probably about 25% in 4 handed.....personally I dont wanna ever CALL an all in knowing Im either behind or a coin flip....I personally dont like ever CALLING knowing Im a flip (both bc I dont like to have my tournament on the line based on a flip...and bc it just seems whenever the flips are meaningful I always come out on the short end of them)....regardless in the long run thats not how you win tournies.

You arent considering your outs correctly either. Yea you had 10 spages left, but you needed 3 of them to land in order to make your flush.....Once two landed after the flop then you had 7 outs (spades) and 3 outs (aces) for 10 total outs because you only needed 1 to land.

Definately not a bad beat because you had the worst hand from start to finish, preflop, flop, turn, river...although after the flop you may have been ahead by a % or two, you still were technically behind in the hand though. Great flop for you though, outside of an ace or an all spade flop you couldnt ask for much more....hope it works better for u next time

I thought you were the professional poker player?

Must have you mixed up with someone else.

No need to be confused............ I am who I am and at times people will say that I do play a little carelessly. It's all part of gambling. I play almost every single day (when I am not with my kids). 3 days a week I play in LIVE tourneys and 6 out of 10 times, I bring home cash. Last week alone I brought home over $2,500 in tourney winnings alone. That doesn't include cash games.

I never said I wasn't a risk taker. What many may define as "bad calls", I am willing to risk on. It all part of the game. It's all part of a picture that I am currently painting.

Whatever works. For the record, I didn't bring home $2,500 last week - but it was still a bad call. You're a coinflip at best.

60% ITM rate????
I believe that is fairly good...
Maybe I should make the trip out to your neck of the woods.

this is a blunt answer and it has been said already but...

You see everyones cards... and you see QQ vs AQ and think your in good shape? your drawing to 3 outs... its that simple.
