Venting

[benfoldsflop 0]

just got home from a 18 person $50 buy-in tourney. down to 5, top 4 get paid. finally got some hands and i build up a decent stack. the button raises for like the 3rd or 4th time, and i'm in the bb. look down at AJ after the sb also calls the raise, but i know he's not a very good player. the raise is like $2000, and i have about $7000 left in chips, so i push all in. the original raiser counts it out and it's about half of his stack to call. he thinks about it for a while, and then calls, so i figure he has at least a medium pair. i show my AJ, and he says, "you got me." he has A8. he calls half of his stack on the bubble with A8. of course, an 8 comes on the turn. i have 7 outs, either a J or a Q, since i have a straight draw too. of course, there's another 8 on the river. he tells me that he put me on a pair. what pair, deuces? i don't consider going all-in on the bubble with AJ unless i'm almost positive my hand is the best. what an idiot. ok, i'm done. peace y'all.jason

why put your tourny on the line with AJ if there has been a raise and a call. Especially if you Know you are a better player than the SB

The button didn't make a terrible call. He just wanted to gamble with almost half his chips in there.

Hmmmm.....shoving against a bad player with a marginal hand and out of position. Why not call and outplay him after the flop if he's that bad? Either way, why are you complaining about someone calling with a lesser hand?

OP is right. I always prefer to have a hand like J-J or A-A call my all-in preflop when I push with A-J.{PAUSE}{PAUSE}{PAUSE}NOT !"Very great success"

AJ either suited or offsuit is a good but vulnerable hand (win rate is about 48-58%) so the risk certainly wasn't unwarranted. That said, if he was a hammerhead, I can see why you pushed all-in... though, at the same time, I can also see a true hammerhead calling and sucking out, especially with a chip lead, but that was your call and I certainly can see you going either way.Shake off the bad beat and get em next time.
