A: When you play the $4 180 man SNG at stars

I guess 12X BB bet is not enough to discourage K-10o. Afterwards he commented that i did not bet enough and i should have bet more preflop and he would of folded.....

It's those very bad players that allow better players to place ITM all the time in the 4$ sngs.

Good push on the flop though, there's nothing you could have done. If he called the 12xBB, he wont fold to 15-20BBs.
