   This has been my luck all day. Either I can't hit a flop or either when I do get some decent hole cards someone comes along and fills a hand with four cards off the table and puts me out. Here's how my day's been going. Several times today I've slow played pocket KK's, QQ's or JJ's only to have someone come along matching my ever rising bets only to fill a hand on the river and beat me when they had nothing from the start.
   This one was the final straw. I was playing the new game on Broadway Tables tonight when I got pocket KK's again so I raised 3xBB (450) from an early position. Some had folded but zanth77 was short stacked (640) and called holding As, Qh. I really didn't see a problem with that but probably would gone all in myself. Another player, canadaeh35, was in a better position chip wise (3065) but for some reason called holding ace rag suited Ah,5h. I can't really criticize that move too much cause I've done it myself . Looking back it's funny now because I had just been openly chastised earlier by another player, sorceressBT, for winning a hand playing As,2s. What came next is what really blew my mind.
   The flop came all rags in rainbow, 4c,8d,3h. With nothing really to worry about chip wise from zanth77 and feeling pretty confident I raised all in. Naturally zanth77 called, which I expected, and so did canadaeh35, who I honestly didn't expect to unless he/she was holding pocket Aces.
When everybody's cards were shown I felt pretty good thinking there were only two easy outs (A,A) left that could beat me. Now I'm sure there were lots of other ways I could have been beaten but that was what came to mind the fastest. Then what finally happened was a 6s showed up on the turn and a 2h fell on the river giving canadaeh35 a six high straight and all the chips. It happened so sudden. The cards cleared the table, the chips were all going the other direction and I was flipping out, WHAT IN THE SAM HILL JUST HAPPENED!!!
   Now this is what gets me. We've all seen wild, outrageous hands get filled when we didn't expect them to but my question is this. After the flop player, canadaeh35, is theoreticly holding Ah,3h,4c,5h,8d. As I see it he/she has two chances to hit a 2 on the turn or the river to fill the straight or he/she would have to hit hearts on both to fill a flush. I may be wrong but I personally wouldn't risk my tournament life by going all in with a hand like this. And on the other hand many of you would say the same thing for pocket KK's cause an ace on the turn or the river could just as easily put me out as a six high straight.
   I know it happens to all of us. I just wish I wasn't so unlucky all the time.

BTW - guess who sorceressBT is?    Grin Grin

I missed this hand so I am glad you posted it

4xBB or allin would have been my play even from early position. I prefer with AA or KK to eliminate as many players from the hand as possible

I expect the short stack still would have called with their AQ.  Would have been an expensive call for the A5 suited to make preflop

It all makes sense now. I was wondering who was openly getting on to me about that hand.

Glad you agreed with my hand assessment. I had no disagreement with the stack with A,Q but the A,5. Especially after that flop......but I get that's why it's called gambling.

If you look at your game as a whole I bet you will realize you are a very good player and luck isnt what you got to rely on ,  so if you got unlucky then it was out of your hands to begin with.    Yeah its not pretty,  but I bet  there are 1000 people posting hands where you just outplayed them just as you got unlucky here.   Just keep your skills sharp and luck is the least of your worries.  (Just trying to be motavating  those type hands do suck)
