I don't feel bad for players that are knocked out in general as it's part of the game... other than that, I usually pay attention to the players that call lighter in this situations and avoid stealing blinds from them as it proves they like to gamble even with hands with really low equity(of course I'll try to get max value with any premium hand and I won't feel bad if I lose it as in the end, if you make good decisions on the long run against this kind of players you'll make profit).
If you believe Harrington in poker, very often situations arise when nothing depends on you and you are forced to call with almost any two cards. There are many winning hands and this is not always the hand of the preflop leader. There is nothing special in the example you cited. A player with a short stack and a good hand wants to double and goes all-in. A player with a large stack, without the risk of leaving the table, calls easily. Perhaps today is his day, and that is why he has a large stack. :icon_sant
I do feel bad if I get outplayed and the deck saves me. I think its important to recognize this and know if it was the opposite way around you'd feel like crap. Its a small consolation but I find it better then just a kick in the teeth.
However there is no better feeling than when you finally get the hand to bury a maniac and their luck finally runs out or they lose their final flip again you. Yes I am saying hard luck but the smile on my face says I don't mean it!

Feeling sorry
I really don't feel sorry for the won that lost with the higher hand as much as I would feel ticked off at the high stack betting with nothing just because they have a mountain of chips. If it is a tourney that pays by the place Ok I get it but when say only 40 places get a ticket to the next round it makes no sense to me way someone who is for sure in would push a hand just because they have a large stack. I try to takes notes on such players and would love to return the favor of knocking them out when they are on the bubble as a reminder that what goes around will come around. Just my thoughts.
Good Luck all 😀

Hi there,
hmmmm interesting, lately I was thinking about something identical and related to feel sorry (feel sad is more appropriate) about people but not because they bust out (that's part of the game).
I feel sad about what I observe on how people play. It may sounds a bit silly to some of you, but let me explain.
This is a game and you can win some money too. It involves strategy and luck.
Either it is a micro limit or freeroll it is still the same game.
I see people doing wrong stuff and chasing luck all the time. Many people not just a few.
Since they are in the game, either micro or freeroll, they are here to have fun, enjoy their time, win some money or whatever.
When they do crazy stuffs on the tables I don't see how they are enjoying their time or support their way to the win.
I 'll give an example. Someone calls a raise with 10s2d. (full stacks). Flop Q85 rainbow. Someone goes all in. He calls xD.
Yeah it's crazy. We can argue that stuff like this will never happen in a ''serious'' tourney or that these happen only on micros and freerolls because people don't want to waste time or whatever.
But it does not make sense to me. They are here and they do stuff like this.
The sad thing that I was thinking lately and I would like to share is that, this reflects to my eyes that people behave like this not just in poker but also in life.
Acting without reasoning, chasing some cents or whatever, not having fun, not enjoying their time, not searching for quality.
I really feel sorry about that.
