Am I too good for the buy in or am I just lacking skills?
Ok, just gonna start out by saying, I don't want you to look at the following and just think its some bad beat story wanting sympathy. I want someone other than me to look it over, the hand, the bets, the cards, positions, etc and tell me...is this just happening to me because I am playing below my limits? I always thought playing lower limits meant easier opponents which meant more wins...but I don't know if that goes for poker. The worse the player the more the luck factor seems to play. Whats your opinion? I have deleted the other 7 players at the table to make this easier to view. None of them were involved in the hand.
Its very very hard to say exactly what you would do but I'll give you some background info. This player had been at my table for less than 10 hands. Of those 10 hands I hadn't played one yet, and had folded my blinds when raised. 532 people entered the tourney. We were down to 112 with 54 getting paid. Average stack size was 6k. Ante was 50 chips and the Blinds were at 200/400.

Ok, so there you have it. He defended his blind for 3/4 of his chips with K 4 off. What cards could he possible have thought I was holding. I mean...K 4 off doesnt beat much... So, what do you think? Is this a mistake common to low buy ins or will I run into this same sort of play even at $50 and up mtt's?
