You seem to have missed the main point.......what was 22 beating to call with all your chips?
I give up with you as you do seem to comprehend either logic or maths.
I noticed you still managed to finish 14 when you had 60,000 chips and the guy who came in 3rd place only needed 80,000. Once again confirming my thoughts.
I will let you and you mate Edge continue to discuss your poker 'skills' without me, because i have made my points and frankly inferior players do not inspire me. Cheerio and good luck ))))))))))))
I'm looking at the hand and unless i'm missing something , i may well be , all the chips went in pre A 10 vrs 22 , isn't 22 the better hand , and why anybody gives a monkeys in a freeroll bemuses me

Not taking sides here, but why are we arguing about a spot in the freeroll?
FWIW, the 2s is a clear fold in my opinion but it's a freeroll - people are always going to call light and have a gamble. It's normal. If anything, you should be happy if he's going to call off with 2s vs your shoving range because you'll often be dominating him with bigger pocket pairs.
And as @Essexphil had said himself, he's been a consistently profitable over many years. You don't do that by being bad at poker.

Getting bored of this.
I've already qualified for the Sunday Major this weekend through this freeroll. I qualified last week (and the week before, and the week before that), but it was held over because I was playing in the SPT at Manchester last weekend.
I have won the Sunday Major before. And a few UKOPS, including a High Roller. Elsewhere? Several 5-figure scores online, and a Day 5 in the WSOP Main Event. I appreciate that would not "inspire" you, while you play at the micro levels. I'm sure you are very happy there, secure in the knowledge that you would be a winning player if you played at higher stakes.
I get that you believe you are a better player than me. You are welcome to believe it.
But stop insulting me. Or else, any time you are in the last 20 of that freeroll and I have a larger stack, I will spite raise you every time you are in the Big Blind.

You are a calling station with no idea about how to play serious poker.
I was in the high roller final last Xmas when you played like a donkey as usual but you sucked out and got fortunate. You lost most of your stack by raising with rubbish and eventually got a split pot with A3 and survived. God only knows how you got that far.
Nothing you say will change my opinion of you, because i have seen the pish you raise and call with. I would rate you as a 3/10 player judged on what i've seen.

why do people feel the need to criticise other peoples play , its poker , some like to gamble more than others and there are lots of different strategies adopted by lots of players , also if you feel that player is bad and you are better surely thats a good thing ? as if you are clever you will get them in the end , yes people get lucky but thats poker , its cards its random

Exactly this.
There are lots of different ways of playing poker. Sometimes it is a question of playing and adapting a style that suits you. Your chips, to be played your way.
But, however you play, there is always someone who believes you should play differently. It's often an ego thing-just as true for me as anyone else.
Just out of interest, uring Tournaments why do you constantly click ON and OFF that you're AWAY ?
Do you think it helps you in any way?
It's because he has to keep referring to "Super System" to check he's playing optimally.
Edge .....Are you a massive U2 fan or a window cleaner? jaja
Absolutely not, U2 are a band I wouldn't cross the street to see. Clean windows are quite good though, they allow light to fall where there is darkness and enable those with clouded vision to see clearly.

You shoved light.
I called light.
I won a flip.
It was a freeroll.
The end.
Morning buddy, do you follow the S.P.T. at all ?
Do you actually take note of the players at you table and their ROI over a number of years.
There are some very good, profitable players on this site, I suggest maybe you don't paint a target on your back.
Now shhhh the grown ups are talking.
Thanks for dropping by with your childish nonsense (grown up my a@@), you added nothing relevant to my points
People 'type not talk' on here and i certainly do not require 'suggestions' from deluded wannabee poker players like you! Sheesh.

Self praise is no praise spite boy.
Enough with the personal insults please. As adults, we ought to be able to discuss a completely standard spot without resorting to such invective.
No more please.
Just out of interest, during Tournaments why do you constantly click ON and OFF that you're AWAY ?
Do you think it helps you in any way?
do all the cool kidz still read "kill phil" then "kill everyone", or am i showing my age........

In the meantime please keep posting freeroll hand histories, keeps the forum posts ticking over
