$15 Dollar Freezeout on Titan

600/300 Blinds latter part of the tourney
I have about 12,000 in chips left - probably putting me in a mid field position

KK for me
I raise to 1800
2 callers

Flop = K,8,5

I raise to 2400
call by one
all in by the other (about 3000 in chips)

I go all in
other guy thinks for a bit and goes all in

I have trips Kings
1 has A,8
1 has 7,7

Turn = 7
River = 7

Me = Full house
1= Donkey
1= Unfrigginbelievable QUADS via Runner, Runner

So this pretty much blew me out of the water. Would have gone to high 20,000 in chips and either leader or just about and put in in a great position heading towards the final table. Scrounged and fought it out, but could not catch any cards, and was in no position to call on occaisions where the was a possibility of doing well.

My rant on the river of titan was justified by this hand alone.

hi

that was really bad luck - strong hand especially when you hit on the flop - not alot you could have done

think you played it well personally - if you'd gone allin then they would have known you had KK but to get two allins with weak hands is really exactly what you want to happen - then you get paid off - but really unlucky for it to loose.

badbeats happen though - there are very few hands when you 100% to win when all the money is in so by definition you are going to get unlucky a small % of the time

at least you know next time your hand should stand up (you've had your badbeat with it)
