What sort of game is it usually, what are playing styles and levels of ability? SB is probably thinking he"s 40% to win the hand if he puts BB on a jack so it"s not the worst of calls.

Friendly, but sb and bb have history...(so i can learn too) knowing that sb was about 40% (i think it is 35%) and still calling, isn"t this bad play...wasn"t getting pot odds, or hand odds with 10 outs is about 22%?

Not sure why the player with j9 went "mad". The player with AK must have had a valid reason for calling, and hitting an A on the turn or river to win the hand can hardly be considered a bad beat......

j9 reasoning was for going mad was that ak basically risked his tourney life on a gutshot draw and 2 overcards..and knowing he"d need to connect with turn or river to win

Ah, if he knew before he called that he"d need to connect, then yes I"d have to say that"s a pretty bad call.
It"s still not a reason to go mad though.....

So if BB thought the AK was in such bad shape he would probably have been begging for him to call if he could have seen his cards? In which case he got what he was after and can"t really complain. He"ll win in the long run tell him..he"ll like that.

;D yes, people always like hearing that what they did will make them winners "in the long run" - just after they"ve been knocked out. ;D
It was a bad call, but I agree if you were the BB you should be wanting that call, and if it goes against you then you should take it with good grace.
HaworthBantam:
I think one of the best lessons here is not to let history (emotion ?) get in the way of your game - accept what happens, learn from it, and use it to your advantage in the future.
As War has already intimated, bad or borderline calls such as the one quoted will get punished in the long run.

bb was "mad" in a nice way...more aghast by the call with only AK and well 3 days later called me up as it was still bothering him to " ask APAT forum as they are better than us!! " so i did...but I do agree you he should have wanted the call...and know in the long run it"ll work for the good..varience I believe!
