How many of you guys play poker?

Man, I just finished playing with some of my buddies. We were playing no-limit hold em, and was down about $20, not too bad. Last hand of the night, I draw a Jc(lubs) and 6c. The flop reveals 3 clubs, thus completing my jack-high flush. I go all-in. However, little beknown to me, my friend (chip leader at the time) draws a big slick (Ace and King suited, and clubs) and completely cleans me out.

He took a nice pot of around $250 home tonight...
I thought I had him too... oh well..

I was in the casino the other day playing on the $100 NL table. So I see AA in my hand and bet $25 preflop. One other person called. The flop comes A, J, 3 (A and 3 were clubs). He bet into me for $45 so I was thinking he either had a flush draw or 3 jacks. At this time, we were both chip leaders at the table and had about $350 in chips. I went all-in after he bet, not expecting him to call me. HE CALLS! I show him my pocket rockets and he shows me... J/5 of clubs! And with my luck, he catches a club on the river and I lost. Anyways, i was just really surprised he called my initial bet of $25 with J/5.

 

sometimes the luck just keeps on rolling...

I was playing with some friends and was already in the lead... they were already scared of me.. I could just look down and flip some chips around and they started mumbling... but I knew that some of my friends think I have a habit of bluffing...

So I'm in for big blind... and draw an 5 3, and no one really pushes me out so I stay in for the flop.... out comes 3 5 3. One of my friends decides that now is a good time to call my bluff. I knew the only thing I was scared of was another pocket pair, but that obviously wasn't out there as they didn't push me out of the big blind.... oh well... play with the dragon and you might get eaten.

 

Hey Meth, which one were you at?

I was playing 10/20 Hold'Em

I had a A-J suited and playing after the flop with 2 other players. There were two other diamonds on the flop, I just called their raises. Eventually the pot got to about $400, when the river came, and finally my flush diamond. One of the guys started to cuss, and he folded after I reraised...
