I just won a single table PokerStars tourney, and all during the heads up, my opponent kept telling me that I was a suckout, didn't know what I was doing, and actually demanded that I apologize to him for saying that he bluffed a lot pre-flop. (He asked why I called the flop with K8, I answered. I did catch a king, but his hand was nothing to write home to mom about.)

Here are the stats, direct from the PokerStars e-mail. Tell me what you guys think. Based on these stats, did I suck out, or did I play well? I think the fact that I won 65% of the pots at showdown says that I played pretty consistently but I'm interested in your opionions.

hey lyt, why are you pissed what the losers the saying..
everybody has his style of play.. by that stats you saw flop only 23% of times in other positions that are not BB or SB, and that's the good percent!

you always study your opponent, if i find he is loose and playing and bluffing with everything i would call him with K8! you won that game, so enjoy.. he needs to be pissed because of his bad play, not you!!

and, what he had last hand ?
