Well, my experience in the cash games has been somewhat mixed, but I've had good success in the tournies with <200 players.

Shitty River.

A 5 would have been nice. A Q would have been even nicer

Nice natural, btw.

Right. I suppose it could've been worse though, he probably wouldn't have called even that with just trips. Though this guy was a major donkey who seemed to have a love affair with Qxo (knocked out AA and one other guy when he got a KJ109 board another time).

In fact, this tournament in total was a serious donkfest, this was actually one of the relatively rare hands without a big PFR/allin. I ended up crashing out in 33rd when my A10s caught an Ace on the flop, but the caller made his 1 card flush with...K9o. Ironic, considering the other time I had A10s I folded to a 1000 allin and 2 calls (should I have taken the odds there?), only to watch as a 10 high board would've given me a huge pot. Meh.
