So where do I start….

Recently playing online poker as I do on many a night, I won\’t mention the site, ..had been playing for about 2hrs and to my amazement I was up 800% on my initial $50 starting chips. The table was no-limit Holdem and with blinds of $.50 and $1, with a maximum re-load of $50.

6-player table of which 4 players came and went like pawns, except the guy sitting next to me who seemed to be almost professional, for some reason he always seemed to have just a little more cash then me!

We built up a respect, I got to know his game and visa-versa. If either of us raised the other would fold, or re-raise and then the other fold.

I can\’t deny, my aggressive streak came out amongst the other 4 players knowing my stack will scare them into folding if I raise, and  with some great play (I mean luck) I couldn\’t lose!

So i\’m slowly getting to the point where I should run with my winnings, but im hit with a pair of 99\’s, so being the last to bet I analyse whats \’the score\’ … Three people call the blind, so I call $1 too, with four people in im not gonna risk any cash seeing as im about to leave!

The guy beside me with the highest stack, small blind, raises to $3 which promptly causes everyone else to fold…. so its just me left, with a pair of 99\’s. I thought maybe he had A 9 or A 10 maybe even A Q so I raised him $7 thinking he would just fold, i\’d take the $14 or so and be on my way, but he called!

The Flop : 2 2 4

Great flop I thought, then he instantly bet $14! Many thoughts run through your head at this point, does he have a 2? No he can\’t have a 2. Pair of 4\’s? Why would he bet $14 if he had A Q… So seeing as I hade a large stack why not one last hand with him, call and see what the Turn is and see how he acts. So in goes my $14 call…

The Turn : 9!

Wow I got the Full House 9\’s over 2\’s. I thought this will be such a nice win to end the day! … He bets $50!!

Ive Got the second best hand and no way does he have Duce\’s….I raised $100

He raised $100….

I went All-In…He went all in…$805 pot on the table… I knew by this point he had the pocket 4\’s and the only card that could beat me was another 4!

River hits!…. Its a 4! He wins with four of a kind .. Four 4\’s

My bad luck story!

If you have one it would great to hear it! Then I know its not just me
