SO Superstar - I'm not playing anymore!

[spannerjago]

I dont normally moan about bad beats but I've played 4 SO Superstar tables tonight and seen some very dubious calls. Some of the calls are coming from players who I know are good players.

Hate to say it but it did make me tilt and make some awful calls of my own. A weakness in my game that comes out now and again.

The last game was the final straw. I made the money at the 4th attempt and was 2:1 in chips for the HU.

Here is the first hand:

Any comments. I cant understand his play but maybe to win these short handed tables you have to make more crazy calls.

Any comments? I think I will stick to cash and SnG games but I'd like to improve at the short handed format as I dont do that well at them according to my spreadsheet.

Not sure you did anything wrong in the 1st hand TBH and got very unlucky.

The second had you were annoyed and maybe made a bad raise with what was on the flop.

Sorry wrong board. Can a Mod move please?

The second hand I was annoyed but I figured he wouldn't have bet with a Q. As it turned out I was right but he must have known what cards were coming next to make that call with his hand.
