Flop the Nuts

Well last night was a fun poker night ...

I played in the 20K guaranteed tourney at BetOnBet and was doing very well, about 30th place out of 370 left. On the button, dealt TJs; 4 limpers in front.

Flop comes 9QK with 2 hearts ... I had diamonds. SB bets out, and the rest of the players all basically move in in turn ... Well, I have the absolute nuts and have everyone but the SB easily covered. I of course move all in as well ... and the SB calls me. 4 people all in ... 2 had AK, 1 had QJ (shortest stack) and the SB had the nut flush draw.

Of course the flush hits and I'm flushed out, woulda been chipleader if it had held.

I then saunter off to play some 10/20 and run into the worst player I have ever seen at that limit. Unfortunately, he hit 4 or 5 hands on me with terrible draws. Capped preflop against my AA, capped flop on a board of 55J ... turn was a blank, he 2 bet me on the turn, so I slowed down a bit thinking he could have a 5. River was another J and he flips JQo. He hit 3 two outters on me that cost me massive pots.

Unfortunately, he was redistributing my chips to the rest of the table. He was up and down and I vowed I wasn't leaving until he was broke. It took a while, but he eventually busted. Extremely frustrating experience though, with a complete and utter fish at the table, I lost a lot of money to ridiculous draws. I got some back, but not nearly enough.

Today will be better!
