How Do They Do It? 2 Opponents hit same 3 outer (which means they hit a two outer).
Playing for the first time in a week at the American Legion tournament we had just consolidated to 2 tables when this hand came up.  I was under the gun with AK suited (spades).  Blinds at 100/200 I raised to 600 with 3600 behind.  Two players called, one in early position, and the big blind.  The flop was A/Q/10 with two clubs.  I bet 1000 and the early position player pushed for 3200.  The big blind then called for all of his chips with 3100.  I went into the tank and tried to figure my pot odds.  I put the first player on  A/Q, and the other caller for at least A/10 or K/J.  With the pot at 7200, with a 2200 call and having both of them covered (by 400) I figured I had 7 outs twice, for decent odds on better than a 3/1 call.  I finally said what the heck, a chance to triple up and knock two players out, I call.  They both turn over A/Q!!!  What a crazy catch of a two outer!  I of course miss and am shortstacked with an all in next hand (6/8 off).  The next flop is K/K/7 and I am gone.  Would have been a nice flop the hand before.

That's terrible luck. It's bad enough that one player would do that, but TWO? Unbelievable.
Thanks for your very good comments on my A-A under the gun fiasco. I was getting proper odds & really didn't think I was beat. Oh, well. I'm off to read your next post about draws.
