Played in the $25 NL Hold’em single table shootout at the casino on Monday. Was only a couple hands in when I picked up pocket 10′s in late position. Several people limped in putting in alot of dead money in the pot so I was ready to go all in and take it down pre-flop with out a fight. Then a semi-loose aggressive player pops it up four times the big blind. I was hoping he was just trying to steal the pot or maybe just had a Ax something hand. So I push all in and it gets folded to him. He makes some comment and calls flipping over pocket Aces.
This was about the worst hand he could have had for me making him about an eighty percent favorite to win. But then the flop comes giving me my miracle ten. Now I’m feeling pretty good and looking to almost triple up………but then on the river wouldn’t you know here comes the Ace.
That is when I find out someone had folded a ten which meant I hit a one outer and of course the same for his Ace. Set over set both hitting one out.
