That is, late night poker while feeling pretty tired and thinking about going to bed...!

Perils:

Game #5538018774: Hold'em NL ($0.50/$1) - 2007/09/13 - 23:43:15 (UK)
Table "SpainArteta" Seat 5 is the button.
Seat 1: Sackofwin ($78 in chips)
Seat 2: Mike24033 ($60 in chips)
Seat 3: Breaker ($38.65 in chips)
Seat 4: DMcCarthy sits out
Seat 5: Number18 ($111.65 in chips)
Seat 6: Iikzelf ($48.45 in chips)
Seat 7: suprwmble ($22.80 in chips)
Seat 8: Stonenuts ($21.30 in chips)
Seat 9: etx19 ($103.95 in chips)
Seat 10: pitsirika ($36.10 in chips)

----- HOLE CARDS -----
dealt to suprwmble [Qd Js]
Stonenuts: folds
etx19: folds
pitsirika: folds
Sackofwin: folds
Breaker: calls $1
Number18: calls $1
Iikzelf: calls $0.50
suprwmble: checks
----- FLOP ----- [Kd Qc Jh]
Iikzelf: checks
suprwmble: bets $2
Breaker: folds
Number18: raises to $25
Iikzelf: folds
suprwmble: is all-in $19.80
Returned uncalled bets $3.20 to Number18

I don't really know what I was thinking in this hand. What I remember is thinking superb, 2 pairs. Discounted any trips due to the pre-flop limps, thought the best hand anyone would have would be a pair of Kings. Really don't know why I just discounted any chance of a straight - A10 is a very likely hand for any limper, and PokerTracker tells me Number18 is a good player. Anyway, Number18 flipped [9d Td], a straight to the King. I swore and put my head in my hands.

Now the perks:

The hand continued while I had my head in my hands. I didn't notice the turn or the river and looked up expecting the popup box telling me I needed to buy more chips. Instead I saw the caption at the bottom right of the screen telling me my hand:

----- TURN ----- [Kd Qc Jh][Jc]
----- RIVER ----- [Kd Qc Jh Jc][8c]
----- SHOW DOWN -----
Number18: shows [9d Td] (A Straight, King high)
suprwmble: shows [Qd Js] (A Full House, Jacks full of Queens)
suprwmble collected $45.25 from Main pot

And I was very pleased Laughing

Poor Number18 must have been swearing!
