I was playing a hand a couple of years ago in a cash game and was dealt AA.
I slowplayed them and called the big blind to see the flop. *Donkey action
1*
The flop came down A A 10. Quads! OMG. If i bet the other guy in the pot (was small blind) is bound to fold. So i check to encourage a steal. He checks also. *Donkey action 2*
The turn was a Q. I decide that I need to get some money into the pot sooner or later so I put a half pot sized bet trying to make it look like a continuation bet/steal. He raised me! Here we go I think. So i reraise him.
And he
reraises me back. Cut a long story short, we both end up all in, and he has me covered. *Donkey action 3*
I am about to double up my chips and couldn't be happier. My plan has worked, I have fleeced the guy as much as I could have dreamed of.
His cards are turned and he has AKQJ10 of spades. Royal Flush. The river was irrelevant.
I had lost everything. Only a prize donkey doesn't consider the possibility
he is beaten.
My laptop was broken as a result of this hand, and I didn't play poker again for about 4 months.
I hope (oddly) that you will consider me your prize donkey, as I would love
a chance to play one of your bigger tournies.
Thanks for listening to my confession.
p.s. IF ONLY there had been a bad beat jackpot!!!!!!!!!!!!
