playing players on tilt

[scarface737]

I was recently in a 20 dollar tourney on party. i had an above average stack about an hour in and the enormous chip leader, directly to my right lost a huge pot when his aces were cracked on the river.

The guy went on full tilt playing the next three hands and winning all of the small pots. on the fourth hand after the beat i pushed on his preflop raise with qk obviously the best hand he called and busted me with his q10.

Did i play this right how do u beat players on full tilt.

You get the chips in with the best hand and hope it holds.

I don't think you're actually looking for a constructive response from us, but rather sympathy for getting bad beat.

Sorry, no sympathy! We've all taken worst beats than this

Even though I don't think you want a real response, i'll give my $0.02. Stay patient and don't let his donkness rub off on you. I would however try to play pots for cheap with him if I could seeing as he'll obviously have trouble folding if you make any sort of a hand. And pushing with the best hand knowing he'll call with a worse one isn't so bad either.

The other day I was playing a tourney on party and I lost a big bet all-in KK vs AK and doubled someone up. I still had a decent chipstack with fold equity though. I didn't go on tilt but I proceeded to raise the next 3 hands anyway, because they were good hands. Hand 1 I had JJ from the SB. Hand 2 I had AJ from the button. Hand 3 I had AK and the BB went over the top and I called. He had KQ and he won (the part that made me laugh afterwords is that after I busted one of the players--the one I doubled up earlier to a bad beat--typed "bye bye, saw it coming", another typed, "man, that guy went on tilt like mofo", and another guy said "yeah, lol" -- they all thought I was tilting too even though the hand I went out on was AK vs KQ).

The point I am trying to make is that don't assume that someone that raises after taking a big beat is on tilt. And even if they are on tilt, even tilting players get good hands sometimes.

Even if you are SURE the guy is tilting, I don't really like pushing with KQ in this case. If he has any ace he's a favorite, even with A2 he's an 8% favorite. Even with out an ace or a PP there is a good chance you aren't dominating him and he has two live cards. Some tilting players loosen up their starting hand requirements without going all-out any-two. And if he really is on tilt, he's going to call you, so your push has no fold equity.

Obvious a push could be easily the right move depending on factors like his stack size, your stack size, whether you are a blind, how big the blinds are, etc... But you didn't supply any of this info, so I'm talking in a general sense.
