I just went all in with AK and a guy with A10 called me. I hit the ace high straight on the flop and so he got his pair of tens. J on the turn and again on the river to give him full house.

I had someone all in last night, i had 8's, he had 3's. The board came ace, queen, jack, ten, king

played the 30k last night on pokerstars, monied in a creditable 399th of a 4000+ field. had aces early and they held for once to get me strong for a while but the hands dried up after the 1st hour and it took me playing very aggresive in position to steal my way into the money. anyone else moved over to pokerstars?

Split pot, no bad thing. If that's your worst bad beat then count yourself lucky, come back when you lose with quads or a straight flush (I've done the later not the former).

I play on Full Tilt and on Victor Chandler.

In the tournement I mentioned above I was chip leader at one point and then it fell apart. First I had AA and got beat by a straight. I then had AK and a guy went all in, I called and he had AA, needless to say it held up for him. This reduced me to about 5,000 chips with an avarage chip count of 9,000. I then scraped around for a bit picking up a few small hands and then the straight/full house incedent happened. I had monied in my previous three tournements before this (I came 74th and it was top 40 to get payed, 250 approx entrants). The other night I made the final table (7th) in a guranteed $4000 tourney to get a couple of hundred £.

I've lost with a straight flush before. I think it was 7h 8h 9h 10h and something else as the community cards and I had the 6h. Needless to say another guy had the Jack.

The other night I had one go my way though. I had A 10 and the flop brought 5 10 10. I raised and the other bloked pushed all in. I presumed he to had a 10 and I had him out kicked so made the call. Of course he had pocket 5's. The final 10 came on the river.

Had a bad one the other day, i had aces vs kings vs some donks king 6. The only king left in the pack appeared and i ws duly dispatched on the bubble.

I occasionally venture on to full tilt, but i prefer stars as the layout is about as good as your gunna get and it plays well.

Oh and if we are talking about highest hand to lose with i will throw my king high straight flush out there!!!!

Both actually. But thanks for caring.

The thing to remember is, it's now what cards you've got, it's the possible cards others have got. Learning the odds will lead you a big way
