These three happened in succession one night. 1) A rebuy tournament after the break ($9,000+ prize pool) I have pocket aces and raise 900 chips (blinds are 100-200). One person calls. Flop comes down Q-9-7. I bet 600 and am called again. Turn makes a board of Q-9-7-3. I bet 450 and my opponent goes all in (about 5000 chips). I have him covered by only a few hundred. It was a little risky, but I called. I do a little cheer when I see I have him beat, pocket aces to pocket jacks. The river is a jack. Pretty much game over for me. When I go all in a little later with Big Slick and a small stack I get busted by 5-4. 2) $11+1 sit and go Four of us left (three get paid out) and we all have more or less the same amount of chips. I have pocket kings and raise substantially. I get one caller. Flop comes down 6-6-Q. My opponent checks and I follow suit. The turn is a king (bingo) for a board of 6-6-Q-K. My opponent then goes all in. Too late, pal, I think to myself as I call. Sure enough, he has 6-J, and his set of 6s is a huge underdog to my Ks-6s boat. I\'ll give you one guess was the river was. That\'s right, a 6. He had me covered and I was out. 3) $11+1 sit and go Wondering why PokerStars rewards bad play a disproportionate amount of the time, I decide to enter one more sit and go. It\'s early and I\'m doing well, up 2000 chips, and I get pocket kings in big blind (30). One person raises to 60 and another calls. I raise to 200 and first raiser folds while the second guy, genius that he is, goes all in. Pocket kings is probably one of only two hands I\'d go all in with pre-flop, so I call him and see he has pocket 4s. It waited until the river, but sure enough I got poker-starred again as a four comes.
