Got knocked out of a $20 T200 tournament that I rebought into (so I'm in for $40) to finsh 3rd and get $20 back....22 in the pocket, I raise 3X BB preflop from button, SB folds, BB thinks a while (I put him on A-whatever if he's all in, bigger pair if he just calls) I'm gonna call if he goes all-in - he does - I call - he shows AK. Board comes J5? turn J river 5 - I'm out in 3rd.

Later in the cash game - playing NL $0.50/$1 bought in for $20 have about $43 in front of me. AA in the hole. Raise to $3.50, ARROWWOOD raises to $10 - put him on KK, QQ, JJ, TT. Folds around - I go all-in. He calls - I got him covered by $5 - shows J 10 . He's all upset, we're all saying no you got outs - Flop 9K? (2 hearts) turn? river Q - straight to the K - cracks my AA. At least I got my money in with the lead.

Next hand all-in for last $5 in the dark - didn't even look at the cards. 2 callers, blinds fold. Don't remeber the cards but I rivered a straight - Turns out I had Q7 in the hole. Got $16.50 in front me now.

Very next hand - got AJ - I raise to $2.50 total, 99%Evil calls. Flop comes KJ?. I bet $3 and 99%Evil goes all-in. Put him on A? probably hit bottom pair or has a pocket pair but not a King. I got middle pair on the baord and call. He shows A-Ten - dominated. Turn=? River=Q - ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME!!!!!

Good night guys - I'll host next week......

Actually Matt, your pocket Aces got beat when he hit a 10 on the flop and a Jack on the river I believe for two pair. He did have the flush draw on the flop as well...either way it still sucked for you

I forgot I was the one that sent you home, I was getting a bit loose by the end and was making some really loose calls and some agressive bets. You're probably aware I don't get overly aggressive with my bluffs, that was one time I did. The weird part was we kept calling for cards and they'd come, I called for the queen on the river, and you know...

You did miss the part where Curt semi-accused me of cheating when I dealt myself a pair of Kings twice in a row when we were playing pineapple. The first time I had them I didn't go too crazy because pineapple has almost as many possibilities as omaha and pairs get cracked quicker than anything. the flop came low ragged and he went all-in after the turn which showed no flush ar straight draws, I called his $17.50 all-in bet and beat his pair of 8's with my kings. The next time around when the deal came to me I got pocket kings again, but also a suited 10 and made a $5 bet and everyone folded and I showed. Curt made a comment, like " wow, you dealt yourself pocket Kings twice in a row, yeah I've been paying attention to you". If I was that good a mechanic (especially after about 5 or 6 beers) I'd be playing for big money against people I don't play every week. Not to mention I can hardly deal without messing up so trick dealing is not even close to being in my repetoire. I just let it go, because I knew he was steaming because I took a bit from him and you know, he just steams because we don't play our cards right.
