So I have been doing really well at the 2/4 NL tables and was up about $800 on Saturday. There was an open seat at the 5/10 NL table that Mike Matasow was sitting at (bought in with my profit for the day), so I went to play a few hands. I played a few and he left shortly after and it was nice to play with a pro for once. After about and hour and a hlaf I was up about $600 and was getting lots of respect on my raises and re-raises at the table. I was on the button and got QJs and everything was folded around to me. I popped it to $35 thinking I'd take the blinds and that would be it, both blinds called though. I thought, no big deal, unless I hit the flop huge I'll dump the hand. Flop comes KQQ, 2 clubs. It gets checked to me, so I figure I'll just bet and take down the pot. I bet out $80 and the SB raises to $160, BB folds. I pause for a moment and think if he/she has a better Q than me. If they had something like AQ wouldn't they just call here hoping to trap me on the turn? Maybe he had a weak queen like QT... but I doubt he would have called a pre-flop raise with that hand in that postion. I settle on AK. I pop it up to $500 to go and he pushes all-in for $150 more. At this point, I figure I had gotten beat with AQ and had to pay off the last $150, so I called and he flips over AK. I jump for joy since he has 2 outs (4 if he hits an A on the turn). Turn is a 7. He types in "nh" and the river spikes a K. I felt sick. I was at a loss as he raked in a $1400 pot. Wow. Unreal. There is no justice.
My only saving grace was that I still was up for the day... but that win would have payed for my honeymoon. I need to take a break.

About a year ago, on another site, I lost almost $300 when I flopped a full house. My opponent flopped quads. I had 99 and my opponent had 22 and the flop came 922.

Thankfully it's only happened to me the one time.

I've lost $1000 in a hand (first hand in 5/10 - pushed with the nut straight on the turn - when the board paired on the river, I knew before he flipped his hand that I was beat) - it's the worst feeling ever.

This is why BR management is important. Its really tough when you play a hand perfectly, get the other guy to make a mistake and they get paid off. I was a 96% favorite on the turn. Variance though. I can't imagine though having the nuts at the time, getting my money in and having a suck-out for $1000. I just wish the 4% came when I only had $25 in the pot though. Oh well.

I've seen some weird stuff lately. Flush over Flush, Set over set, the hand I have in discussion at Sit-and Go, I mean absolute crazy stuff.

For example, AA vs. QQ- Ace and Queen on the flop.

I turn a flush with a straight flush draw while another one turns a higher flush. I didn't hit my straight flush-I lose.

I saw a royal flush today with JQKA of spades on board and he goes all-in on me with my JT without a spade (yes I folded, and yes he had the 10 of spades).

I've seen quads twice to the same guy in the same sit and go last night.

I had quads I think twice and seen it on another occasion.

I won a $50 pot after the flop with AQ high no pair because for some reason the other guy called $20 more with Q9.

Too bad actionpoker.com doesn't have a hand history because I would have shown these hands (Site affiliated with the Heartland poker tour).

One time I mis-read a hand live about $100 into it.

I lost $250 in my home game (huge for our game) when i flopped a boat and my friend flopped quads. My 22 vs his 55, flop was 552. Coincidentally he hit quads 3 times that same night, twice with a pocket pair where he flopped it, and once with a 9 when a 3rd 9 came on the turn after 2 flopped.
