Un-fucking-real

The title of this post is what I had to say after my last two hands on JokerStars as I lost the last two on 2 outers. This is a 45 Person SitNgo and it is down to the last 16 players.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (7 handed)
UTG (t3715)
MP1 (t6790)
MP2 (t3848)
CO (t2075)
Button (t2085)
Hero (t2840)
BB (t4240)
Preflop: Hero is SB with Kh, As.

4 folds, Button raises to t2085, Hero raises to t2840, 1 fold.

Flop: (t5075) Tc, Kc, 2d (2 players)
Turn: (t5075) 6d (2 players)
River: (t5075) Qs (2 players)
Final Pot: t5075
Villain turns over Q/Q to take the pot after he catches his 2 outer on the River.
Two hands later this happens:
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (9 handed)
BB (t2375)
UTG (t3565)
UTG+1 (t6790)
MP1 (t3848)
MP2 (t2075)
MP3 (t4170)
Hero (t755)
Button (t4390)
SB (t750)
Preflop: Hero is CO with Qd, Jh. UTG+1 posts a blind of t150.

1 fold, MP2 raises to t450, 1 fold, Hero raises to t755, 3 folds, MP2 calls t305.

Flop: (t1735) Kc, Kd, 5d (2 players)

Turn: (t1735) 7h (2 players)

River: (t1735) Td (2 players)

Final Pot: t1735
This time he turns over Q/10 suited and GG me. Another 2 outer and IGHN. What really hurts is I had him dominated.

Mr Wolverine

1st hand I probably reluctantly fold preflop. His M of around 10 (effective M about 7) is low but it's not desparate enough to be pushing rags. I'm only calling with AA and KK here. You're basically putting your tournament life on the line with a coinflip. Yeah you have any bare ace dominated but you're always behind to any pair, as you know. Pick a better spot mate!

2nd hand again I fold preflop. Someone open raises and you come over the top with no fold equity with QJo. With your raise he's getting over 4/1 on calling you so he'd basically be right calling you with any 2 cards unless he knows you have a big PP. It sucks that he rivered you but you shouldn't have been in the pot to start with IMO. You're desperate but you're in the CO and have a couple of hands before the BB hits you. I'd rather open push 72o here than come over the top like that with QJo, but there again I suck at poker at the minute!

I was on tilt when I posted this and now a day later I have had excellent comments from you and from Raisetheriver.com people and I know that it was my play that was not so great...... but the suckouts hurt, too. :-)

Thanks, Pudding
