Except when you are the one doing the sucking out, right?
This was at a fight for 1st place. I was heads up at a 9-person, $11 SnG last night and I really sucked out bad on my opponent which crippled him and eventually led me to victory (and an argument with the woman over playing too much, but that’s another post =)). The blinds were at 500/1000 and he had little more chips than I did. Then, I’m at the BB with As3h and I raise 2.5x the BB, I get called and the flop came Ah8s2h. So I bet out the pot and I’m left with about 1.5 blinds. My opponent re-raises putting me all in and I called. He flips over AdKc - no hearts. At this point, I think I’m dead and a miracle happens; two more hearts show up on the turn and river and gave me the flush suck out. He wrote LOL, I apologized and he replied “np, it happens sometimesâ€.
The next hand would be the last one. I was holding A6 suited on the small blind and my raise of 1x the blinds put him all in. He called, flipping over 89os and no one paired up giving me the victory. That’s when the next battle began….
