Lost a huge pot after a one-outer

One-outers always hurt. They hurt because they mean you have a strong hand — they hurtbecause the other guy/woman sucked out in the worst possible manner possible in poker — and they hurt because they’re usually part of a big pot.

I had such a painful even tonight and I feel like sharing.

I’m on the button with about $1200 in chips. I pick up AJs. The whole table fold/limps to me and I decide to open with a 6BB raise (average for the table). Two limpers and the big blind call my raise so 4 players see a A-A-T flop.

Good result. I flop a set of jacks, and I assume I have by far the strongest hand at the moment. Pocket tens beat me — but that’s it. I check, two players check behind me and one guy bets about half the pot. I call, one guy behind me calls too.

The turn is a Jack. I make the nuts. Good stuff. One of the caller bets +/-80% of the pot and I decide to just call again. The other players fold.

The river is a Ten.

The other guy leads out, I raise, he shoves, I call.

He flips over pocket tens.

He had about $1050. Second in chips at the table.

Bah.

Jennifer Tilly checks down Jacks Full

This is a legendary clip on the net, and off course we need it on Ppppoker.com too. What I enjoy most is her check on the turn (DONK!) and Phil Ivey and Erick Lindgren’s faces after the showdown.

I mean — Phil Ivey can’t believe what just happened — he’s like… WTF BBQ!!

Good stuff ^^

(by the way, look at Tilly breathing heavily. Is that a tell? )

Amir Vahedi tries to bluff Sam Farha… and his Nuts

This is the worst position to be in really. Under the gun, trying to bluff… SAM FARHA. Seriously, what was Amir Vahedi thinking? Chris Moneymaker lays down the second best hand — Amir gets destroyed by Sammy.
