so on the 749th hand of the 750 raked hand bonus for 75$ Joe Party Poker decides to tear me a new one. Usually I woudn't be too pissed b/c this kinda play is easy money in the long run but being that it was the last hand of the bonus it just added insult to injury. I finished the bonus up exactly 75$. Raise before flop made straight impossible, well nearly impossible.

A guy last night played AJ like this: He raised to 4x the BB, then called a reraise to 10x the BB. Flop was QTx, and he check/called a full pot bet. River was his magic bullsh*t king and he pushed and got called by some schmuck with just a set of Ks -- and held on to double up.
