Did I play this correcty? It really pissed me off during the tournament. After an ace was on the board and he saw me bet he still called... aaah, Just wondering if theres anything I could have done to get a better result on the hand... the next hand I got KK and a King came on the flop. I got busted by a flush... 4 clubs came on board... Set me off on Tilt...

Was this real money? Halcyon played terribly. It was a bad beat.

Although after he called your big bets. I might have checked.

At the end of his hand history it says play money, if somebody has nothing to lose why not play it til the end. Just because you or I might play a "fake" money hand like a real hand to help learn there has to be millions of people that just hit raise or call til the hand plays out.

I think you probably want to make a bigger bet on the flop. Betting 45 into a pot of over 300 screams that you don't have an Ace. The other play played that hand pretty badly, but a bigger bet on the flop might have got him to fold. If he calls or comes back over you, then you have to seriously consider checking or folding.
