Gotta blow off some steam...
Been losing these critical hands lately, the ones that = either big chip leader or long way to go. This was a 18 man Sng with 10/11 left.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (5 handed) converter

SB (t270)
Hero (t5920)
UTG (t915)
MP (t1990)
Button (t4405)

Preflop: Hero is BB with , .
1 fold, MP calls t150, Button calls t150, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (t600) , , (4 players)
SB checks, Hero bets t500, MP raises to t1000, Button folds, SB calls t120 (All-In), Hero raises to t2500, MP calls t840 (All-In).

Turn: (t5060) (3 players, 2 all-in)

River: (t5060) (3 players, 2 all-in)

Final Pot: t5060

Results in white below:
SB has 7h 4h (straight, jack high).
Hero has 9h 9s (three of a kind, nines).
MP has Ac Ah (three of a kind, aces).
Outcome: MP wins t3440. SB wins t960. Hero wins t660.

Amazingly, MP finished this tourney in 3rd place and the SB finished 1st. Unbelievable...

I can't believe SB ended up finishing first. He calls with his last 120 and down to 4 outs.

Ouch, that has to be one of the worst calls by SB i have ever seen!

Totally unlucky mate.

Don't blame SB for calling there. He has already invested 150 chips, what exactly is he going to do if he leaves himself with 120 and less than a blind?

He should have folded/pushed all in PF, but given he didn't its imo the correct call.

I know. I can't blame the SB for anything, he's got no chips for chrissake. And the other guy had AA, not inconcievable that he call all in there. I wouldn't have posted the hand if those 2 lucky shmucks hadn't ended up finishing ITM. Should have been me! (and turn)
