Re: Betway Unhappy Saturday Very harsh. You were winning at the flop stage, unless he had pocket aces and his betting pattern indicated he didn't have that hand. You were right to raise him and not let him see a card if he had the str8 draw, and with a rainbow flop you had no worry about the flush. For him to call the hefty raise was strange, you could've had trips (as you did) or the Ace with a better kicker, even A9 or A3, so calling with A5 was a crazy move IMO. Not sure of his odds of hitting the Ace and five, at least 20-1. Terrible luck mate.

Thanks Danny When the A came on the turn I thought I was home and dry. I've had a such a bad run lately that I have questioned my play. I know this was only a freeroll and such play is to be expected but my confidence on the tables is at a low ebb at the moment.

Re: Betway Unhappy Saturday Have you considered avoiding the big freeroll tournaments for a while and focussing on bigger buy ins/less player tournaments? Even a few 10 seater STT's might get your confidence back.
