Here's one more to add to the pile. I was going to wait to add this in a third installment, but it's such a winner(loser) I had to describe the carnage in its own post:
Game: 1/3 NL Holdem
Stack: ~700
Hole cards: 24, off-suit
Position: button
Preflop: 5 players (myself, both blinds, and 2 others) in for 3 apiece.
Flop: As 3s 5d , I flopped a straight.
Action: Small blind checks, large blind is all-in for 65. Two upwind players fold, and I call, after thinking about whether I want to take another beating at the hands of a 9- or 11-outer.
Small Blind goes all in for 160. I recognize a push with two pair, stew over the thought of a 4- or 3 outer, and call that, knowing I have better odds which will pay off any loss I incur to the flush draw.
Turn: 8
River: A.
Small Blind shows a Full House (A-3) for the fourth suckout of the session.
