<p>Anyway, 24$ 6-seater S&amp;G, Full Tilt Poker, No Limit Hold&#8217;em &#8212; I get dealt KK in the very first hand. I raise 4BB, one call, SB Villain re-raises minimum, I shove in half my stack &#8212; he calls. Flop AJ4 rainbow.  SB shoves, I fold. Villian shows A9.Blergh.</p>
<p><img src="http://vincentfiore.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/qq.thumbnail.jpeg" alt="QQ" align="right" />I&#8217;m now the short stack. Hand #8 and I pick up QQ. I&#8217;m under the gun after the blinds, and shove right away. One caller in the BB, shows JJ. The turn brings the jack. Tourney finished.</p>
<p>Played two hands.</p>
<p>Oh the beautiful game of poker, especially with me on <a href="http://www.thetiltroom.com/">tilt</a>. <img src='http://vincentfiore.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m NOT going to turn this into my own little persional poker blog on which I complain about the bad beats I encounter while playing online poker and live poker in the casinos in the neighborhood &#8212; but this one was so sick I just can&#8217;t get over it.</p>
<p><a href="http://vincentfiore.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/aces.jpg" title="POCKET ACES" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://vincentfiore.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/aces.thumbnail.jpg" alt="POCKET ACES" align="right" border="1" hspace="4" vspace="4" /></a>Second hand of the night &#8212; everyone has their initial buy-in of about $1000 in front of them, and I pick up a couple of aces on the button. I have a raise in front of me, and one caller (under the gun raised 3BB &#8212; call middle position) &#8212; so I decided to re-raise about 8BB. The initial raiser made an instafold &#8212; middle position re-raised me the minimum.  The pot was about $250 at that point, so I decided to go for the pot with the rest of my chips.</p>
<p>When the other side of the table started doubting &#8212; i put him on a middle pair &#8212; nines, tens &#8212; a hand I would probably fold if I were him &#8212; but playable none the less&#8230;</p>
<p>After about two minutes, the guy says: &#8220;nah, you don&#8217;t have it&#8221; &#8212; and he calls. I instashow my aces, and he says: &#8220;well, I&#8221;m on the draw&#8221; &#8212; and show me Q9 O/S.</p>
<p>Flop comes &#8212; A93 rainbow. Great &#8212; i&#8217;m well-ahead now. The turn makes my full house &#8212; another nine. My opponent is dead to the case nine.  The river brings&#8230; A FRIGGING 9.</p>
<p>YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME. Opponent starts making noise and yells about how great he is &#8212; he just KNEW it&#8230; Awesome, dude! Anyway &#8212; I don&#8217;t mind aces being cracked &#8212; I do when it&#8217;s by a freaking one-outer on the river&#8230;</p>
<p>Oh well&#8230;.</p>
