im guessing a call probly isnt a bad decision,1 in 3 times he's a winner...

Your opponent was right to call - he was getting better than 2/1 on his money.
That's just poker.
Play a sit and go... shove all in 1st hand, you probably wont get called, then you will be chip leader so shove every hand after and you cant lose because apparently the big stack always wins... why dont you play that strategy???
I think you dont want to play that because you know you are just being stupid, playing c rap and losing because of it. Stop blaming anything but yourself and post hands where you dont know what to do in tough spots rather than going down the rigged route.
A nonsense statement like that is always gonna get fierce responses!
He didn't "know" he'd win, he had the odds to call with an above average hand and faced with a button raise which could've been with any two cards! And he could afford to take the chance for a fifth of his stack! As for "computer generated unrealistic poker" the same thing could, would and does happen in every live tournament!!!!!
GL on the tables mate!
Phil, no1's stopping you having a moan about bad beats (although they can get tiresome).
However, you do more than that, you clearly have a pop at this site for being "unrealistic", in other words fixed, rigged, call it what you want.
Don't you see this makes you far more stupid than the rest of us who play here who DON'T think it's rigged. We may be wrong and ignorant and it might all be one massive con, but at least we think it's fair! You think it's a set up and yet STILL play here! That's like throwing money in the fire, surely?
So please just shut up and leave if you think this site is not fair - or if you want to keep posting comments like you do (which is your right) - DO NOT MOAN LIKE AN 8 YEAR OLD GIRL WHEN PEOPLE HAVE A POP BACK AT YOU.
In that spot you will be pushing the button any two cards with ur short stack and k5 is definately way above your shoving range. i snap you off here in a second.
It is just standard at this stage of a tournament and it should not in any way be called a bad beat. You are only a small favourite to win the hand.
i would try to not let myself get down to 3 big blinds before making my move because you will get called all day long and even when you win the pot u are still short stacked. Make your move earlier, when u have a bigger stack that will make people think twice about calling and give them a tough decision. when you wait this long you make it easy for them.
Just may thoughts,

What a lot of people miss when they are talking about the 'bet' and the 'call' is that with any form of poker 'it's' a GAMBLE !!
It's not a mathematical equation . OK you could say someone has the POT odds to call or Implied Odds (as in what the return will do to the position it will put a player in the tournament or how it will affect 'the callers' stack if he loses)
In this case of yours, the problem is we dont have ALL the facts to consider but I'm guessing this game would be possibly down to the last 10 to 20 players, also it's a table with only 5 seated .. IF this is the case the main thing is YOU definitely did the right thing, with the all-in move
( At this stage get the idea of 'Big stacks always win out of your mind, it's not constructive to your game, and totally negative way of playing, because it's just not true)
That all said, were back to the 'call' and this is where players have different opinions !!
IF the situation is that there are only 10 -20 players left, I'd have to ask myself do I want to be calling 'one third of my stack, knowing in all probability I was behind ??
For me it's a pass, because with 60k I'm under no pressure with over 10 BB still after the hand, I can find a situation after this hand where I can be the aggressor..
The point being with 60k, the player is possibly medium to high stacked in the game, and if it were me, I'd definitely NOT be calling to make my final table game weak, I'd want to use that stack to be aggressive with by betting not calling...
That all said, that's what makes the game so interesting, players have different opinions, and above all else ..we all want to win ..
