live tournament, sick beat

[j0eyz]

so im in a $100 buyin tourney at a little poker club by my house 20 people, we start wit 9000 chips

we're at the final table wit 7 guys left, i have about 15k the blinds are 700/1400
the guy UTG min raises the pot to 2800, the very next player goes all in for 5000
everyone else folds to me by the button i wake up wit JJ, i push all in over the top for 15k
it gets back around to the original raiser who has about 20k in chips so its 75% of his stack, so now hes thinkin about it, and says exactly this "ah fuck it i call" he turns over A5 hearts, and the other player turns over A10 off, so now im lookin pretty wit JJ drawing to 2 aces in the deck, flop comes out 4 5 K turns another 5 and rivers an 8 to give the guy wit A5 trip 5's now that makes me not only really pissed cuz he called me wit A5 but that makes me real sick

Ya that sucks, but poker is like that man, you win some, you lose some

Must've thought he had odds to call in that spot. Describe how you were playing leading up to this hand and the way A5 played as well.

Lost one the other day on an Ace river when my opponent had nothing. Whats worse is that he ended up cashing. Oh well, if you can't handle a bad beat you shouldn't play.
