    lol I bet his reasoning at first was "they were suited!" but yeah, bad beat.

    Can't explain the reasoning for his call, but then again...why did you open shove the kings preflop?

    Well, the beat certainly kills me here, but I got what I wanted. From reading up what the big names in SNGs say around here, shoving huge hands in the early stages of low buy-in MTTs and SNGs makes sense because so many bad players are willing to call you with beaten hands, such as 22-QQ and stuff like A-rag and K9-KQ.

    Had I been called by something like A10, and lost, I'd be ticked, but that's typical and you can understand why the lower level guys are calling with this. A lot of them can't help themselves. But 10d-2d?
