HITTING TRIPS KNOCKED ME OUT

[ufearmedntu]

I WAS IN A TOURNEY LAST NITE ON POKER4EVER. IT WAS DOWN TO THE FINAL TABLE WITH TWO OF US LEFT. MY OPPONENT JUST ABOUT COVERED ME IN CHIPS. ANYWAY MY OPPONENT IS SB AND GETS DEALT 10 5 OS, WHILE I GET DEALT POCKETS 8'S BB. THE SB RAISES HALF HIS STACK, SO I RE-RAISED ALL-IN AND HE/SHE CALLED.

THE FLOP COMES DOWN (7 6 9), NO FLUSH DRAW. THE TURN COMES (K). EVERYTHING IS FINE UP TO NOW. THE RIVER COMES (8), I HAVE HIT 3 OF A KIND AND MY OPPONENT HAS HIT A LUCKY STRAIGHT KNOCKING ME OUT INTO 2ND PLACE. HE WAS A RIGHT DONKEY.

This is poker.But he calls with T5,this is awful call :(

Depending how much the all in was it may have been awful but if you were short stacked he could've just put u on ace rag or AK. If you had minimal chips and they had a load i'd call to try to empty the room out.
