yes i know it's a tourney. I had to call this all-in though right??

I'm becoming increasingly frustrated at Stars seemingly always paying off the most crap-tacular hands.

As soon as this guy flipped over A8..i said to myself
"JOY! watch the 8 come!"

lo and behold THE MIGHTY TURN!

not to mention I pushed in at a ring game 30 mins earlier..

I push 20$ pre-flop w/ KK against a maniac at the table...He calls w/ A2 offsuit and flop comes:
4 2 2

*pulls out hair*

You could have folded this hand since it's early. I'm not saying you that most people would fold Ace King but when it comes to high-swing situations, I feel more comfortable pushing all in with Ace-King late in the tournament than calling an all in early in a tournament.
