No tournaments today so I decided to play in the 10-20 blind NL live game. I manage to run my 3k buy in to about 4.5, and proceeded to play this monster pot. I limp in UTG for 20 with 99. Four other people call and the button raises to 140. We see the flop with 5-way action, it comes down JJ9, and I’m pretty fired up. The SB checks as so do the BB and I also check. The player to my immediate left moves all in for 860, the pre-flop raiser thinks for about a minute and calls the 860 leaving him with about 1500 left. Everyone folds to me, so I move in for my whole stack knowing the pre-flop raiser at best has a Jack and he quickly folds. The all-in player asks if I want to run the turn and river twice and I ask what he has. He shows me Q10 off. I say, “well, I already have a full house and you are drawing slim, lets run it once.” To my horror, the turn brings a 10 and it takes me a few seconds to realize that he picked up a lot of outs to beat me, so I try to tell the dealer to stop the action so we can run the river twice, but she proceeded to burn and turn a 10. OH MY GOD, I just lose this hand to 10s full when I have all the money in as a 51-1 favorite. I repeat he has a 1 in 51 chance of winning after the flop. I’m such an idiot not to run it twice. Certainly he can’t win them both..,no freaking way. Wow, this really sums up my week and start of the New Year.
