This is getting ridiculous. I either lose to king jack or lose with king jack. Friday night at the American Legion I was a major luckbox. Example 1: I limp on the button with K10 suited with 3 limpers. Flop is K/6/6 and someone bets, I raise, he pushes all in (has me covered) I call....like a donkey. He reveals, pocket aces. Rut Row. Turn, brick, river king! I not only win, but my hand is now the high hand of the night with kings full. It stands until the final table.
Example 2: A loose and really bad player raises all in, I call with A/10 having him covered. He has KK. The flop is small, runner runner wheel for me. Luckbox!!!!!
Finally, my luck runs out. We are 4 handed at the final table having knocked out #5 who was a very sick older player just wanting to go home...and donking off chips to everyone but me. At the break with blinds at 1000/2000 I am second in chips with 18000. I suggest a chop of 2/3/4 place and give 1st to the overwhelming chip leader. The other two players with only around 10 and 8,000 do not agree. I have a bad feeling as I also want to end things and claim the high hand money ($70). A chop would give everyone better than third place money so I am a little disappointed as it is now a crap shoot with blinds so high. Anyway, right off I pick up the nemesis, KJ suited in the small blind and raise to 6,000. The big blind, with 10,000 goes all in. I call. He has AK. Great, I am dominated, but wait......the flop brings a jack.....the tables are turned. He is now the dog looking for the 3 outer.....but wait......the turn brings an ace. Crap!!!!
Down to 6000 in chips I am in the BB for 2000 when the ultra-aggressive SB raises. I have J/8 offsuit and with most of my chips already in I call for all but one chip. She moves me all in preflop and with a ragged queen high flop I call. She shows pocket 4's which hold up. I finish in 4 th place for $140. and stay to collect my high hand money which goes away when the big stack slow plays AA and fills up on the river. Good Night!

That's really crummy that you couldn't get them to chop. It sounded perfectly reasonable to me. I also have a love-hate relationship with K-J. I am perfectly happy to raise with it if I am the initial raiser, but if I am re-raised I almost always fold depending on the situation. Same with A-10. Not my favorite. See you this weekend!
