Recently I posted about how easy it is to pick up chips. People will “give” you there chips if you allow them to. Well, here is a perfect example of 2 players that are clearly BEAT that continue in the hand anyway. This hand was played in the PokerStars $5.50 (360 Player) tourney.In this hand JeanGrae called an un-raised pot along with the 2 other players. Once the flop hits DAWGNU2 bets out $150 and was re-raised by Sanne.ro All-In. Of course JeanGrae is going to call here even with the small kicker as it is still likely he has the best hand and at worst is facing a straight draw and / or an over pair. DAWGNU2 makes a crucial error by calling the All-In bet by Sanne.ro. It was an EZ lay down at that point. DAWGNU2 got the information he needed and instead decided to “donate” his entire stack. Sanne.ro also made an error by going All-In after the turn. Even after he hit the 2 pair he had to know it was no good at that point. This hand was played early in the tournament and all of the players invovled had over $1000 in there stack. Pay attention to what is going on in the hand and FOLD when you are beat. Why get busted when you don’t have to?

Deuces,
