KQ makes an absurd call here with nothing but hope and prayer that you have a smaller pair and he has to get awful lucky to win. the story it tells is he is WAY ahead no matter what he holds cause opponent has NADA,nothing worth going on in this hand for..

This kind of player is nothing more then a slot lever pulling junkie to make this call but sadly online these days they are favored and the one who made the right play gets chastised yet again WOW
So...you're saying you think online poker is rigged? That somehow the software favors losing players? Wouldn't that level everyone's results out, when in fact the stats clearly show a minority of regular winners and vast sea of losers? People often say, "these people get lucky," or, "the site favors the dog," but in reality, like bad beats, but if you're the type of fish who's playing every hand then obviously you're going to hit more flops than a reg playing tight.

And I see you've played enough poker to realize that at NO time was the JJ "killing" him. Calling with a hope and a prayer? Is KQ really any different than AK in this spot, pre-flop? Are you saying that he should only ever call with hands that beat the raiser, lol? And as I said, after the flop the JJ is WAY ahead or WAY behind, so when he bets and gets called, a Q on the turn is not an indicator that he should go ahead and ship his chips.

I'm certainly not defending the KQ. I don't have a problem with his pre-flop call, the float on that flop was bad but not disastrous. And once the turn comes, it's likely he's ahead of someone who's bet the line that our HERO did. Remember, only 4x went in pre-flop, then a c-bet (can't see OP now so can't remember the flop c-bet amt), but with 8x in, and assuming everyone in the hand has chips to play, when the turn Q shows up, our JJ has turned into a bluff-catcher, not the monster that has anyone "KILLED." If, at that point, we are put to a decision for all of our chips, and we can't fold, then we've justified the donkey's play.
