Alright here we goPokerStars FreePlay tourney 2100 chip entry 2000 entrants down to 213, i get dealt QJo, call the big blind on a low chips stack. Average is about 7500 and im sitting on 5000. flop comes 8 9 10 rainbow, first guy bets 400, second guy calls i raise to 2000, original raiser folds, and other guy calls, next card is a 2, he checks, i bet all-in for another 2600 he calls, turns over the inevitable KJ.RIVER : QI lose finished 213th, 180 get paid, was i wrong to try and make a move here? should i have just waited since people were dropping fast or was this bad play from me to begin with? i thought i was a pretty strong favorite into the river seeing he needed a 3 outer. Any Thoughts

These are the type of situations that you want - you have all your opponent's $ in the pot as a heavy favorite with the nut hand at the moment. He hit a 3 outer against you, but over 90% of the time, you'll win.Good Play

Are you kidding??!! Yeah it was a bad play . . . HIS!!!! You had the best hand and played it correctly. He called with a 3 out draw and got lucky. It stinks - but it happens. You absolutely made the right play.
I love . . . er . . . I mean hate . . . I mean love this game!
