An online poker session often ends with some disgusting suckout. Happens all the time. But when you're on the winning end of it? That's a little more rare.

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em $0.05/$0.10 - 9 players
CO: $17.47
Button: $5.47
SB: $17.17
BB: $51.25
UTG: $9.16
UTG+1: $3.85
MP: $15.27 44/17 after 19 hands.
MP2: $10.53 20/0 after 15 hands.
HJ: $10.00 (Hero)
Preflop: ($0.15) Hero is HJ with


2 folds, MP raises to $0.30, MP2 calls $0.30, Hero calls $0.30, 4 folds
Flop: ($1.05)



Well, flopping 2 pair aught to be enough to go to the wall. I've caught Ace-king, and all the ace-rags don't stand much of a chance.
MP bets $0.80, MP2 raises to $1.60, Hero raises to $9.70, and is all in, MP folds, MP2 calls $8.10
Not sure if this shove is the most EV play. Do I flat and let the original raiser in with spades or a gutshot? Are those hands too rare to worry about? Or maybe I flat and let him go nuts with AK? Well, maximum EV or not, I've got the best hand most of the time, getting money into the pot certainly isn't a bad thing.

Now that's a sick cooler. I feel the disgust boiling up...
Turn: ($21.25)

..and it doesn't really dissipate, even when I hit my 2 outer.
River: ($21.25)

Hero won $19.84

Poker might be the only game where the loser and the winner of a big hand can walk away from the table disgusted by what just happened.
