thats terrible heh, offtopic... i like the card pictures that u use lol

Yeah those pictures are easy on the eyes, I like them too. At least you can't say the internet is rigged huh? lol

Truly a bad beat though. Sounds like you could enter a similiar tournament and do fairly well if they're held quite often, though.

If I were in his shoes, I would have folded (no set, no bet). There were so many other big pairs (9-9 and up) that he would be behind to, let alone your set. That leaves him at a 11-1 underdog, which he gets extremely lucky on. Ya did right, but got very unlucky.

Usually top 10% are in the cash (ie. 25th place out of 250).
Where was the bubble?
What was his stack size ?
(Looks like you started the hand with 1400 with blinds of 50/100).

Iceberg.
