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.
