I start out 3 tabling, and hit trips on two tables at once... in all, in the first hour, I hit trips 5 times in a row (albeit, once the board was paired and I had the third, the other 4 times, I had pocket pairs and tripped the flop)... Instantly I'm up about $500...
I'm KING OF THE WORLD.... The poker gods are lovin me... Then, as usually happens, they wait till I'm at my happiest, then kick me square in the balls...
I miss the next 4 trips, then... get your calculators ready...
I get dealt 55... MP raises to $12... me and one other guy call... flop
[10h] ... I'm afraid of the flush, so I raise to $15, MP calls, the other guy raises to $75... WOOHOO... I call... A-hole MP pushes for another $150, raiser folds... I happily, loving the poker gods, call...
Turn
.... River
... He flips over the Ace for a nice Royal Flush... took about $200 of my nice, happy profit...
Keep the calculators calculating...
about 5 hands later... against the same exact guy...
I get 88 and limp... he raises to $15 in MP again... and it's heads up...
flop...
... woohoo!!! I'm gonna get my damned money back... I check, he bets $20... I think and think then reluctantly call...
turn...
... I check... he raises to $50... I reraise to $100... he calls....
river...
... WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I push for whatever I have left, about $30 or $40, he calls and shows AJ for a boat, and craps a green brick when I show him my quads...
Now, honestly, what are the odds that any of this stuff would happen in a month, much less in about an hour and a half on a single table...
I actually had one of the guys watching ask me if I worked for Jetset... I told him I don't work there, but I have stock options...
... More strange hands... In the 15 minutes since I posted the origional, I had KK twice, got pushed both times, and was up against Aces both times... Once, I sucked out w/ the King on the turn... So, I guess it was a push... but still a VERY weird session...
