My friends and I play alot of poker with low stakes (tournaments). We have winner takes all-system, but the 2nd place plays for free.

Now, this one time, we were three players left, I was terribly shortstacked (had about 1/8 of the chips), and I started off with a Q7suited. I thought: "Okay, seems like a nice hand, lets see the flop," and the flop came: A77 rainbow. It was like JACKPOT! Well, the interesting part begins now. We were two-handed in this particular hand, and the guy in front of me raises me about 2/3 of my chip stack. I surely raise all-in, and he quickly calls. I flip over my three sevens, he flips over: the Ace. Okay, that's nice, I was in front, and I had pretty much every favour to win this pot. The dealer flips the river, it's and ACE. Well, that was my tournament :/ the 3 on the river didn't help much. So much for the turn of events

or:

* Hole cards: [Qd 7d]
- Small raise, I call

* Flop: [7s 7c Ad]
- Big bet, I raise all-in, he calls.

- Opponnent hole cards: [Ac & sum random card]
* Turn: [As]
:/

* River: [3c]

hi all, yea it happen to us all. this morn i was in royal vegas $200 freeroll. there was 43 left out of 5990. i had 130,000 in chips. the blinds were 8,000 and 16,000 so i go all in with AK unsutied. i get 2 calls one A dia. 8 spade, the other Q8 off sutied the flop comes 2dia., 4dia., 9 heart no pairs, turn comes 10 dia., then the river 7dia. no pairs but the player with A8 hits 4 dia. on board to knock me out with Dia. flush would have rather lost to him with a pair then 4 dia. on the borad.
well good luck and have fun.

If I can get a showdown with the best hand at the time ! I fell good about it because the math pp say I will win over 1/2 the time. I just hope I live long enough to make them right! LOL

i agree. i dont know how many times i have put the bets in and been well ahead, but get drawn out. people call even for a runner-runner type situation. and will get it. but in the long run, you gotta like those type players. becaues, you will double up on them most of the time. but just leaves a bad taste when you get knocked out by one.
