I try not to post about things that I am not qualified to talk about, but I had an interesting hand the other night in the Midnight Madness on FT. In the BB I have A3. There is a min raise in early position with three callers, so I jump on board for the ride. Flop comes 533, so i decide to slow play and, check. UTG (low stack) goes AI, next guy call, the other two fold, and I shove.
Number two calls. UTG has KQ s, but number two has pocket 55. I feel sunk. Turn arrives and a 3 hits the board. Lots of WTF's from number two, but I am amazed.. . in shock. I have a heart attack, fall on the floor, die, and now I play and post from a different realm. I have had this type of thing happen to me, but very rarely for me. I had a fair stack at that point, immediately went card dead, and limped to the cash. Would have been a shame not to at least cash with after all that.

So the dealer was your wife ... or significant other ... or son ... or daughter ... right? Otherwise, how do you account for this kind of event that always happens to "the other guy" on Full Tilt???
That is sick but it happens all the time. I re-watched all the WSOP 2008 tournaments that ESPN showed last weekend and the pros were sucking out right and left.
Glad you made it to the money. That would have indeed been tragic otherwise.
You're right about one thing. The RNG usually does it TO you and not FOR you. Nice to see it happen the other way.
Congrats on beating the play. I think you played it spot on. Oh wait, I was reading the wrong post.
Card Rack ;-)
PS. Your word verification is 'prove' - interesting.
