    Dozza,

    We played in last nights Freeroll together, and you did something very similar then too. I think you might undervalue the odds of someone hititng a flush. He raised pre-flop, and you called. You had JT and had hit the ten on the flop, and your opponent blatantly had a draw. He bet out, you raised, and he shoved all in, and you called - a mistake in my opinion, as he could easily have had overcards to the board, the flush draw or even the straight draw. Maybe you are missing the texture of the boards?

    lol - i play freerolls a lot differently from normal MTTs and will play speculative hands a lot more/gamble a lot more as most other freeroll players do. Its a 100% fold in an MTT which i have paid a buy-in for.

    Not the worst play I've ever seen.  I was expecting to see some horror call when I read the title.  Seems like a standard hand which something similar probably plays out a thousand times a day on the site

    I mention it chiefly because you stuck around in the chat box for a good 20 minutes afterwards, annoying the guy and shouting "He's got J4!!" every time the villain in that hand raised, shoved or even called a big bet. So you made a bad call, get over it, get over yourself and learn from your mistakes.
