It was late, I believe that we had settled on one more round when I peeked down at 9x, 9x, 5x 2x, rainbow. Tom was seated to immediate right and was UTG. He straddled the $5/$10 blind to $30 and with the Juice to my immediate left, I decided not to throw $30 into the shredder. To my disbelief and dismay, the Juice just smooth calls as does the rest of the table. The flop was almost too bearable to speak of.... 9x, 9x, 6x. It checks to Dave who leads out with a bet of $85 or so and the entire table folds back to Tom who also folds. The Juice turns over his hole-card-sixes, giving him the boat, sixes-full-of-nines. Yep. The general consensus was that I would have gotten all of the Juice's chips, BUT you do have to be present to win.... and unfortunately I wasn't.
I guess... next time! But tonight, it was just the big one that got away.
Let the suck outs begin!

When you're on "chip preserve" you take the bad with the good. For me, a $30 lottery ticket for the chance to win $2K+ is just too good a deal to pass up. Man, you even had a half-ass low draw as well! What do I know, though - keep waiting for those aces... :-)
