Hi guys i was just wondering about 10p 20p levels, is this normal for that level..... yes i know it was a complete and utter bad beat, and if you wanna give advice on how to play the hand then feel free, but my main question is it normal for people to play like this at these levels

     There are several things to note about this hand and the way it was played.

     Firstly open limping and calling a raise oop with K8o is really bad and is just luck based and what i call suckout mining.

     Secondly Your raise preflop is not good because what you did was by raising so weakly encourage multiple callers to get in the pot. You really dont want to be playing hands like this 4 way to the flop against peoples ranges that it is not even remotely possible to guess. In an unopened pot that is an acceptable raise size but after a couple of limpers then you need to be looking at 1-00 to 1-20 minimum for your raise size here to narrow the field and hopefully narrow the ranges down as well.

      As it is you got the perfect result and got your money over the line against one player as about a 4 to 1 favourite so that worked out as well as it could be.

      When you play a big hand you have several options available to you. The one you used here was maximum risk for maximum reward. Nothing wrong with the method at all but you have to realise that using it will result in receiving these types of beats.
