Playing in the "Morning Moose" today, I limped in early position with 8/9 of hearts. Probably 7 limpers total...typical of this $25 tournament. Flop was awesome, 6/7/10. Under the gun player bets 200. With two diamonds out there I decide to reraise all-in to either induce the flush draws to fold or let them call on the draw. Everyone folded to the original raiser who pondered a bit, then said, "I call, if you have the 8/9 you have me". I said "Yep", and turned it over and he showed 10/10 for top set. Turn was a brick, then the board paired with a 6 on the river. Player down.
Moving over to the cash game (a second one had just started), I watched aces get cracked by a flopped set of 8's (Dougy), then the very next hand I have the aces, and when it is raised to $8 to me, and the guy whose aces were cracked tilt/calls with 4/8, I reraise to $28. Both players call. Flop is small and slightly connected but with a 4 and I bet $20. Both players call. Turn is a brick, I bet $20 again, and both call, with the tiltman going all-in for less. River is an 8, I bet $20, am called by original raiser who tables JJ. I take the side pot, and the main pot goes to the 4/8. Sick. Aces are cracked the next time they are dealt (by 8/3 no less) who makes the dumb end of the straight on a A/9/10/J/Q board. Very sick.
I end up cashing out for $315 on my $100 buy-in, so good day for me. It was one wild table I gotta tell you. Saw some major league chip stack swings (Hal up $500 to the felt for example).

I love your ecard picture. Too bad about your 8-9. Not much you could do about that.
There have been some juicy live games lately. I cashed out last night with a profit of $405. Hope to see you tomorrow.
