Poker Insanity

Bad beat 1:

This occurred last night at a pokerstars buck tournament.
Me (6205): pocket 10s
Lucky Stiff (7109): J-A os
Blinds: 300-600

Pre-Flop:
Me: Raise to 1200
LS: Call

Flop: 6-10-J
Me: Bet 3000
LS: Raises all-in
Me: Call

Turn: J
River...wait for it...A!

I go out in 104th place. Unreal.

Bad Beat 2:

Pre-flop
Me: A-9 (I'm the BB)
Chaser: Kc-8c suited calls (not the SB - actually goes in with painted crap)
Unlucky A-holder: A6os
Me: calls.

Flop: A-A-3c
Me: Raises half my stack
UAH: All-in
Chaser: Calls
Me: Raises Chaser for all her chips (I have her covered)
C: calls

Turn: 10c
River: 5c

Unreal. Another DONKZ Chaser. I felt bad for the Unlucky ace holder. Having trips is hard to get away from, regardless of your kicker.

Sometimes I wonder if sub-optimal play turns poker into a lottery. I made up a phrase: SPIT - Solid Poker Induces Termination
