[Talking Poker]

I was multi-tabling 1/2 and 2/4 short seated NL at Stars tonight, working on the latest bonus. I had folded a lot of hands to preflop raises in this room, and decided to take a flop with my suited Ace.

Wait until you see this freaking action. I know I COULD have played it faster, and yes, I knew I was likely up against a set or at least 2 pair.... but I think I played it fine.

It just sucks to see a $473 pot stolen on the river. *sigh*

P.S. Yes, I know exactly how many outs he had, and no, I'm not saying he played it terribly. Just saying this was one kick in the nuts I could have done without.
