Here's a great example of what I was talking about:

I was playing a 250 titan point entry tournament today, I think top prize was $75 and 20 paid, so not a bad payout. Anyway I'm holding K-Q suited, eveyone folds to me, I raise three times the big blind. One guy calls me, flop comes J-9-3. He bets 40(big blind amount), I have about 2300 in chips so I call hoping to catch something. Turn shows A, which gave me a flush draw as well. He checked, I bet about 200 sensing weakness. He calls. River comes 4, I bet 520, he calls. He shows 8-9.

I have no idea how you cll that all with 8-9 offsuit. I was right that he was weak, but he played the hand poorly and won it.
