ANTES/BLINDS

So I am dealt AA early in a STT.


PRE-FLOP
Dishlard folds, Lucky62 x calls $20, aporos11 folds, zbai7 calls $20, Dr Zen bets $100

A bit light but I couldn't be bothered typing in a figure.


Mario016 folds, Yelldell81 folds, wowiko folds, Jewoso folds, _fuy_ folds, Lucky62 x calls $80, zbai7 folds.

Not likely he has a good hand here but I've never seen him play.

This is perfect for AA. One caller.

FLOP [board cards:JHQH8S ]
Lucky62 x bets $60, Dr Zen bets $300, Lucky62 x calls $240.

Not a great flop, but I doubt he has me beat, so I raise decently.


TURN [board cards:JHQH8STH ]

A horrible turn. The flush draw came in and so did a straight.


Lucky62 x bets $700

But that's a bit odd. He didn't push, but left money behind.

Dr Zen bets $1,100 and is all-in, Lucky62 x calls $180 and is all-in.

Usually, you'd fold AA on a board like this but it felt wrong.

So what does he have? Astonishingly, Q2s. He has top pair, that's all. He can't think it's good on that turn, surely? So he must have been bluffing. And I can feel good now because I picked it off and will double u--

RIVER [board cards:JHQH8STH2D ]

Oh no, you don't.

SHOWDOWN
Dr Zen shows [AHAS ]
Lucky62 x shows [2SQS ]
Dr Zen wins $220, Lucky62 x wins $2,610.


Just incredible. I eventually lost those few chips by pushing over five limpers with 44 at t30. Two called. One bet huge on a Ah9h9s flop and my heart sank. But he had JhTh, making him barely a favourite. Sadly, he rivered the flush.

&&&

So I get AA again in another tourney. There are a couple of limpers so I make it 200 to go. A couple of guys call. This is quite normal in turbos. The players are just awful.

The flop is Qs8s5d.

The BB pushes. I push over. It's not likely BB has me beat on this flop. The guy behind me calls. Oh shit.

BB has the nut flush draw and no pair. The other guy has QQ.

That sucks. He doesn't have set value for the call preflop, but obv. he got it afterwards. I am left just crying. A huge favourite crashing and burning yet again.
