I wasn't upset at all, as I was fine with coming in second. After all, I was very lucky throught this tourney to get the cards I did - I got pocket aces three times, and pocket queens twice. The aces held up all three times, the queens I only played once and they also held up. I folded the queens one time to a raise and re-raise in front of me.I didn't post in the bad beat section, as it isn't a bad beat. Just thought I would share with you what I have found to be a typical Big Blind hand (meaning that you get to see the flop for basically free, hit a great flop, and then lose a bundle with a hand that you most likely wouldn't have played from another position).In the same tourney, I was in the big blind with 7 2 offsuit. One limper came with me. Flop was 7 7 5. I checked, he went all in (he was a short stack, about 1/3 of the chips I had at that time). I called (foolishly?). He turns over pocket fives, turn and river were no help. All I could do was to say "lol...what were the odds of that?"
