I have noticed when two people pick up pocket pairs e.g QQ vs KK the underdog will get a flush about 75% of the time weird huh Very Happy

75% sounds about correct. But hey, it could be worse. At least that shows it's not 100% rigged.

Because he has a short stack and there are antes in the pot. If leaving yourself a backup plan means being able to fold later in the hand, you doing so in spots like this is an enormous leak no matter what you have. If your hand isn't good enough to get all-in with in OP's spot, you should be folding, not calling or making a smaller raise.

i can understand that point plus i didnt take into consideration the antes which makes even more sense, but my thinking is against two random cards(not been A or K) hes less than 60% ahead not taking into account if someone wakes up with a PP!!!

i was gonna say the BB was 4,000 and for everyone it was either push or fold, i really didn't want to be raising then getting re-raised and then maybe fold, its a turbo final table what do you expect lol Very Happy
