Ben doesn’t like full houses and this is one reason why. He has pocket aces when the flop came with A-K-K. His opponent went all in. Thinking he had the game, he called. To cut the story short, the opponent had pocket Kings. The turn and river didn’t help Ben’s cause with 2 and a 9.
Henry has pocket aces with only five players in a home game. He decided to raise pre-flop. Then someone re-raised him so Henry went all in. The other player called while the rest of the table folded. The other guy opened his A-9 hand. Henry is sure that this is his game when the flop was K-5-3 rainbow. Then the turn was a 9. Henry prayed that river is not another 9. Well, his prayer was unanswered. River was a 9.
This could happen to anyone. There’s a guy who had pocket 8s. The flop was 8-8-J. What he did not know is that another player was holding a pair of Js. Then the both of them slow played, both confident of their hands. The river was a Jack. The opponent called all in and the guy called. The guy proudly opened his hand only to realize he lost to quad Js. The other players consoled the loser.
