This effectively knocked me out of the tournament. (I was out two hands later.) I’m out no money, as this was a freeroll, but it’s still annoying, because I was doing fairly good for a change. Poker dopers and gurus, I beg you, correct this young disciple’s play so that he can actually win with large pocket pairs. And if you tell me that my betting was bad yet again, I am going to smack myself yet again.
