he got unlucky in that the guy that beat him, called his raise with A2 ... and hit an A on the flop...it was then that dave really should have known he was probably beat and he only had around 10% chance to win the hand... but he doesnt understand that 4 raise callers ahead of him are most certain to either be ahead (if not pushed out by his raise) or be ahead when an A or face hits the board... i wouldnt have made his raise in a tourney unless i was tilting or had a hugh stack, which he didnt ... tourney play is different, i understand that, but i dont make that play... he said he was card dead all day too and that could have had something to do with it...dunno
