| I'm slowy grinding out a few BB an hour profit in a 2/4 game after a few hours of playing when disaster strikes. I'm dealt 4,6 in the BB and of course i want to fold as fast i can but everyone checks. So I check thinking i'm going to fold at the first bet. The flop comes 6,5,6! Damn suddenly I have trips someone bets at last and I call. The turn comes 5! Now I have a full house! I check and then raise and two others call my reraise. At this point i have the highest possible hand on the board with the exception of four fives which i'm not worried about since no one is betting aggressively. The only thing i don't understand is why two people are staying in when i'm reraising. Finally the river card comes and it's an ace. Here I could be beat by A,5, or a pair of aces but would someone stay in early with a pair of fives? I bet aggressively. i'm raised and I reraise until the betting is capped. Everyone shows and one guy had a pair of aces in the hole giving him a aces full of sixs and the other guy had A,5. If that last card had of been anything else in the entire deck i couldn't lose with my full house. | ||

| Hi rambler- After the flop you were a favourite over the pocker aces and you were a real favourite after the turn. The player who held A-5 only had one out in the whole deck to beat you - the case five because the other player held two aces. If the ace falls on the river as it did, the A-5 hand has only 5's full of A's, where you still have a higher full house. (6's full of 5's). The A-A hand was also drawing to a one-outer after the flop, (the last remaining ace). So yeah, with both of their hands combined, there was only 2 cards in the whole deck that could come out and have you beat. It does happen, but it was definitely a bad beat. If you knew what they were holding after the flop came out, you should have been extactic! Tough luck though, and the A-A hand should have folded on the turn because he had to realize that he was drawing to at best, a 2-outer. Flakes | ||

| Thanks Flake. It's always nice to get some sympathy. Nothing hurts like having every beat at the turn and getting out drawn. | ||
