The Pocket Queens Hex Is Over
We are big stack at the table. Found Q-Q. Raised it. Got a caller. Flop comes three non-paired undercards. Guy next to us goes all-in with a massive amount of chips. We decide he does not have A-A or K-K. We call. He turns over A-K. The Qs hold up, and we take a massive amount of chips. The Queen Bitches hex is finished!
The sucky part: We were down to three guys. Guy to our right has a few more chips. Guy to our left is short-stacked. He goes all-in, and guy to our right calls. Guy to our right cleans up, assumes a big lead. In this, a timed tournament, all he has to do from here on out is fold automatically, and he wins the tournament. We finish second and feel like shit. That ain't poker. But what can you do? All we can do is take that guy out next time, and make him enjoy leaving the table.
