NICE!!!!! Love those hands. I can't tell you how many times I have been involved in hands like that. Very frustrating to see but you know you are better off playing that way in the long run

Yeah, what were you thinking?

[smoore]

Haha, I just got donked out of the same tournament. Forgot to get the HH and don't feel like opening 'stars again to get it:

UTG+2, I get AA

UTG+1 makes it 3x
I come over the top to 10x
UTG+3 flat calls. Folds around, UTG+1 calls.

flop Q hi. check, push, call, fold.

He shows me QJ, I show him my AA

Anyone care to guess what the turn card was?

[links_slayer]

Hmmm. Another Q?

Of course not, there were only two of those left! It was a J, 'cause you know... if he's gonna hit a 5 outer, it'll usually be the 3. I did not pair the river, obviously.

Well, I had 2 choices and since it's rigged I guessed in favor of the underdog.

Oh yeah! I guess they wanted the "rigged" to look a LITTLE less obvious

(just in case any of you newbies misunderstand, this thread is COMPLETELY in jest. It's not rigged.)
