Here's my explanation.

Last night I was playing 9-18 at Commerce Casino. I was up a rack or so ($300) playing super-tight aggressive for a few hours, when the following happened.

I limp in with A-4 suited (bad, I know, but I'd been getting no cards; I got 3 pocket pairs, all lower than 8-8, in 5 hours). Pot is raised by Mr. super aggressive who was up a few racks. Lots of limpers, I call.

FLop comes Q-6-4, rainbow. Checked to the raiser, he bets, I call. Down to 3 players. Turn comes a 6. Checked to the raiser. He bets. I check-raise. He calls. Other guy folds

River comes a 10. I bet, he calls. With pocket 5s.

Three hands later, I pick up A-K under the gun. Aggressive guy raises. I three-bet, and somebody else caps it. Flop comes K-J-6, again rainbow. I bet, aggressive raises. I three bet, he caps. Four players in the hand.

Turn comes a 2. I check to Mr. Aggressive. He bets, I call, as does everyone else. Huge pot now.

River comes a Q. Check, Aggressive bets, I call. He shows A-10.

Boom, there goes my $300 in profit in two hands. We both left the table soon after, in very different frames of mind.

That's some of the worst card playing I've ever seen. On the first hand, you're both lucky the guy who was sittin' on a queen folded out b/c the heat got to be too much for him.

On the second hand, that's just stupid. You went all the way with a pair of Ks and and A kicker to a guy who previously whooped your ass on a questionable hand. The guy coulda had two pairs and he woulda beat ya. You shoulda known he had a monster. There's a reason he was "up a few racks."
