    Or just lucky river? Image is fairly tight so I don't see how he's calling every street with queens.. or is it just me.

    Flop bet is a touch small, I guess. Turn bet is a touch big.

    But I guess I don't understand what you want. You got 1-outed on the river. So I'll turn it around: What Do You Think You Could Have Done Differently? At All? On Any Street?

    I mayb go 4x raise pf, that makes your flop bet have to b bigger. Do u think he fold if u check shove the turn? But all in all i agree with graps dude hit a 1 outer. UL :(

    Oh, and I hope this hand illustrates a lesson....

    You said, "Image is fairly tight." In a $1 MTT, you don't have an image. Period. Almost nobody is paying that much attention, nor knows enough to make a determination even if they are.
