The chip leader has earned the right to push the table but sometimes the leader is just plain LUCKY !!!!!!

Yeah I think chip leaders think they can call everything just because they cant get taken down. Anyway that play sucked. You should have won but maybe your raise wasnt enough to fold him and with a 3 of a kind of course he would call your all in thinking you have a high pair and he has the hand won. let´s just hope you dont get taken out again like that. but remember its poker and anything can happend.

Good Luck,

yea being chip leader everything makes sense that happened on this hand, just too bad that he hit the quad 4 to beat you.

You don't give full details on this hand, but remember all that sometimes the reason why the chip leader calls you is because the bet is only slightly more than the big blind amount. It's silly to NOT call in that situation....any chance to knock out a player, especially cheaply, has to be taken. Worse case the leader doubles you up, but with a big enough stack, he/she could handle the loss. Being chip leader doesn't mean you start calling every raise, etc. with crap, but it does mean that if someone goes all-in pre-flop with a stack that is only slightly more than the blinds, you call no matter what your cards.

In the case of this hand, you both flopped sets. Great situation for you having the higher one; you just got unlucky with the river. A bigger raise pre-flop might have driven him out...as it was he had already called the BB for 2K, and you made it 5K more...that's bascially a minimum raise. A lot of people would have called you with fours, because the raise wasn't big enough, and because of how you can often get paid off so well when you flop a low set - no one really expects you to have it.

yep so true, but... I am tryin' to get chips from the chip leader. so I don't want to make him fold his bb unfortunalty I think I did want him to fold lol in heinshght.
