I had just come back from nowhere to double up with a flush in the BB last hand. This baby is gonna put me in the money. This player is very loose and aggressive so I wanted to make it painfully obvious what I had. I guess you can show some idiots the Aces and they still won't believe you. I actually flipped out on him after the play. Suspend my chat. It was worth it.

What the hell could A5 possibly have been ahead of. I know I'm supposed to be happy when they make these calls and I was for about half a second. Losing w/ Aces is one thing, but losing to this hand this way after making it obvious he was WAY behind is painful. I coulda had pocket friggen 8's and he was in trouble.

And these are the rest of the geniuses I am playing against on a daily basis.

Oh, I min-raise in the BB. I can't believe that didn't scare off the 5 limpers.

And you follow it up with a 1/6 pot bet. I can't believe that didn't work either. Now someone bets into you and you push all-in? What could you have? And they call? We must be looking at two sets from the way this hand was played although I don't know what somebody would min-raise into 5 limpers that hits this flop with 3 different suits.

Oh, did you see that? One brain surgeon min-raised Aces into the whole field then small bet them on the flop. The other guy played "any 2 suited" and he's taking it all they way once he hits top pair. The only question is which one of these guys gets the Player of the Year Award?

And lastly.........

That UTG raise sure looks like a steal to me. You gotta defend that BB. After all you got 96 offsuit. You can't be giving that hand up.

I'm sorry. They're really aggrivating me today and this is my therapy.
