I participated in a hand that had 10 players, maximum raises pre-flop, (pot started with $200.00), in a $4-8 holdem game. The field was seven handed on the flop for a raise, five handed on the Turn and four players on the River.

The Flop was Q-3 of Diamonds, Jack of Clubs. Turn was not worth remembering and the River was another Jack

Three hands showed down on the River – pocket K’s, K-Q suited, and J-10 Diamonds. I wish I’d of had that damn J-10 of Diamonds. That pot would’ve sent me home singing.

What was I in there with??? Nope, I didn’t have any of the hands that showed. I’ll leave you with the thought that I definitely had the chance to win or I wouldn’t have been there.

The game was great…so great that the last hand I tried to make a stand with was pockets 10’s. Raised it pre-flop and got called by A-6 off-suit. The flop was 9-8-6, Rainbow. The A-6 fired at it, I raised. The Turn was checked, I bet. Sadness here…big Alligators Tears…a lonely disgusting Ace popped off on the River and I gave up my seat.
