I think we have all done it..I had like 7 or 8 K once 5 handed and lost two 60/40 situations where I was ahead, had A5 against AK where I raised a short stacks blind and was committed, had QQ vs AA (brutal), then AQ vs AK, then had 8s on a Q high flop, that was the only over, and he had AQ..It was absolutely disgusting...I felt like the biggest moron and the table probably thought I was the biggest donkey ever...

Whatever though, thats the great thing about online poker..You can play like a complete retard and only 8 other people will know and you will never play w/ them again

Besides, when this happens you're just going 'with your read.'

Why did I call off my stack of 30 BB with AQ yesterday? My 'read'!

8.5K with 4 left and I bubbled, which led to a recent post/question. It left a mark for a couple of days. But I'm feelnig much better now... blush.gif

I'm glad to say that it goes both ways, though. I recently lost all but 240 chips (9/10 of stack) on the 2nd hand of the tourney when my top-pair met Aces on the flop (stupid), so then I simply played tight for a bunch of hands and somehow came back to win the tourney. biggrin.gif

From the other side,

I had 500 against two 6000ish villains after being killed by AK vs AQ and he hits a straight on the river.


All in with J7o against KJs flop brings a jack and 2 of the villains suit...GG me.... until an offsuit 7 on the river gets me up to 1300ish.

Next 2 hands back to back I get AA. Once vs same player's AK, next time vs same player's AQ... and he's out.

Felt good to be on the otherside of the cooler for once.

that is impressive.
I did it with 10 left and 50 chips. So I could fold a lot
But in your case, what were blinds?
That is pretty incredible

200/400.....

I won 2 all in pots in a row and that got me up to about 300

On the very next hand I moved in and all 3 called. I had AQ and the flop came QQx. So I was up to 1200. I doubled up again soon after and could breathe again.

I was very fortunate, obviously. I got lucky, very lucky.
