    We all believe online players are a lot better than live players. I play a ton of live poker and agree with this statement, with regards to MTT . The hand below is the exact reason I still find online play to be extremely profitable. I mean look how bad he plays it all the way to the turn. So mechanically unsound.

    unless youve got good reason to suspect he could even have q3o here, which maybe there is, but the guys playing passively till the 4th card to a straight on the board pops up and now he just loves his hand. seriously, how often is one pair good here in level 2?

    wow this post is such a joke, it's a fricking 10 dollar tournament, obviously if he's top ranked as you say, he doesn't care about the tournament and is just playing to fuck around and see if he can build a big stack. And your turn play is just about as horrible as it can get. You put him on a big pair which he didn't have, another mistake, not to mention the needless over bet pre. As played, check/shove the flop.

    His call preflop was retarded as was his call on the flop but regardless you should have let it go on the turn.
