    Default Clearly a donkey...

    This fellow constantly leads out and calls when he has bottom pair or nothing. Clearly a donkey, and (I'm still in the tourney) still bleeding chips, but I was wondering if there were other things that I might have improved upon here:

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    MP (t5280)
    Button (t1725)
    SB (Donkey) (t3330)
    Hero (t1590)
    UTG (t1575)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with 7, A.
    UTG calls t50, 2 folds, Donkey raises to t100, Hero raises to t200, UTG folds, Donkey calls t100.

    Flop: (t450) Q, 9, A (2 players)
    Donkey bets t50, Hero raises to t200, Donkey calls t150.

    Turn: (t850) Q (2 players)
    Donkey checks, Hero bets t400, Donkey calls t400.

    River: (t1650) Q (2 players)
    Donkey checks, Hero checks.

    Final Pot: t1650

    Results in white below:
    Donkey has 3d Jd (three of a kind, queens).
    Hero has 7c Ac (full house, queens full of aces).
    Outcome: Hero wins t1650.

    Just see a flop here. Min raise = WORST PLAY IN TEH POKERY.

    You could start by not playing this hand.
    Lots of good rakeback options at http://www.rakeguard.com/?raf=KRE8R

    KRE8R probably has about seventy college funds in his NL5 roll.

    The preflop play is horrible & I push the river, just in case he has a 9.

    I think he probably would have called even if he didn't have a nine. The only reason I checked it was on the off chance that he had a queen. I mean, do I REALLY have to take risks in poker? (Please note: The last wasn't serious)

    Edit: Oh, and for those wondering, I finished second, once again because of my over-aggressiveness. The first place and I played back and forth a bit, him from 2,000 to 2,500 mostly, me from 11,000 to 11,500 mostly, but I made some bad bets and he was able to beat me from them. It's improving, though. At least I wasn't bleeding chips the whole time we were heads up.

    Excuse me, but what minimum raise are you talking about? The only person who did the minimum raise was the other guy.

    Ok maybe it wasn't technically a minraise (i'm guessing you could've made it 150) but it still falls within the bracket of pussy raises.
    For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.

    I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.

    That is true... Thanks. And yes, the minimum raise would've been 150. See, 50 to 100 to 150.
