Feeling great about the trip, I decided to hit Lucky Chances on Monday night, with the stated goal of leaving at 12:15 sharp. I was SO satisfied with myself when 12:15 came: absolutely terrible cards, yet I picked my spots and stayed and was up slightly. For whatever reason I was unable to get up at 12:15. Naturally, at 12:20 I am dealt AA, I check planning to raise, two callers (SB and BB) with no raise. Flop is K 9 10 with two spades. SB bets 20, BB calls. I raise to 60. SB immediately pushes for 300. BB folds.

Hyper Aggro turns over…5 6 OFFSUIT. Oops. Button flashes 88. I mutter “pair the board” but don’t show anybody. Board doesn’t pair. Hyper takes a big pot with his lame 5 6 offsuit.
Ouch

One must remember that if you are in a game that is phenomenally good, what happened on Saturday night is an occasional inevitability.

I must have been tired, because I then felt this silly chess-pounding need to prove to myself that I could manipulate the table however I wanted, that I could take down a pot any time I wanted…
56 Offsuit Strikes Again

When the 8 comes on the turn, he flips his 88 over and starts celebrating. I suppose the river 7 was inevitable…

But by the turn, if I was going to win the bonus, I was certainly going to lose my stack.

I’m not sure exactly what he had, nor what he thought I had. The point is that my pre-flop raise, the first of FOUR bluffs, gave the river bluff some credibility on a board full of color.
Nut Flush vs K-High Flush

Then the big hand, turning the A-high flush against the K-high flush with a bigger stack (AND a short stack with a lower flush), and managing to get all in. Sucks for him.
