THIS IS NOT RIGHT

i never ever ever moan on this site and never really have any complaints about things that happen on this site. i am not a regular of the area 51 stuff but this hand happened to me a few minutes ago and i just cant get my head around it whatsoever. the hand in question is about my 10th hand at the table so there is not great history of my bluffing outrageously etc and the villain is a name i do not recognise and dont have any history with. at these stakes there are not many names i dont recognise for one reason or another.
after the hand i instantly left all tables i was playing on and emailed support. this is the first time where i have felt that a hand i was a part of was not above board. somebody please try and justify this for me!!!!!!!!!

He would have seen the 10s too, if that was the case.
side pot is bigger than his stack on the flop so still profitable to win side pot rather than fold. i know i am just being ridiculous but its a shocking hand that i cant explain any other way
However the best weapon any player at this game has, is "Confusion" and yes he must be good because he's confused us ..

This is probably not what you want to hear, but in my opinion you butchered the hand - we've all been there and done it - but my question to you would be what story were you trying to tell?
The limp re raise - ok quite like it really - 2 callers not ideal and your raise was too small to lose any of them. Furthermore, if they're calling that - you should consider that one of them has an "A"...
Granted we know that's not the case, however both are playing relatively short, so the fact that they both called you for a minimum third of their stack means that they are going to war with their hands....
By betting the 37 on the flop, what are you trying to achieve.... The story you told pre flop is that i'm super strong AA, AK AQ KK QQ JJ type hands. If you're lary possibly KQ.
SO why bet 37 if you hold those hands - you would be removing all value, by forcing worse hands to fold.
It can be argued that by betting so much, you have told the TT you don't have the ace. Therefore unless he specifically puts you on JJ QQ or KK he's in fantastic form. Also would someone holding those hands make such an overbet / semi bluff to find out whether any of their 2 opponents has an A - again doubtful.
Therefore the TT can be fairly comfortable calling all in.
The 22 then has to decide whether they feel committed to the pot. It's fairly loose, and not necessarily the best call in the world, but he may genuinely think that the way the action has gone that he is ahead of you, if not the TT who is very short stacked. Therefore, the sidepot which is sizeable, may be the deciding factor in his call.
I hope that this makes sense, because i'm assuming that this is the train of thought used rather than any bizarre superuser accounts - I would just think about my story telling a little more - and if people don't like the narrative you can end up with some strange calls....
Either learn from your mistakes or blame sky, them cheating, the weather, etc etc
Your choice.
If he could see your hole cards he wouldnt be playing 50NL lol. He would be taking isomorph on at 2000NL.
was a major tilt post
the call is genuinely the worst piece of poker i have ever seen. i never for one moment suggested the short stack calling with 10 10 was a bad call.....to be honest if he isnt folding on that flop he should have got it all in pre flop.
the 22 is something that cannot be explained under any circumstances
the player with the 2s - expensive set mining and what can only be described as a VERY optimistic call on the flop, you take this guys money 9/10 sessions.
It was a wild move yes, but it was thought out and SHOULD have got through.
I wouldn't blame Sky for it though (even though I do feel there is something iffy about this place).
The guy who called with 2's is obviously just a noob who doesn't really know what he is doing - it happens.
