I was playing in an online NL multi table tournament ($3 buy-in 1800 people). It was early on, 15/30 blinds and I was just to the right of the button. Five people had limped in before me and I had A spades 6 spades. I decided to play in hopes of hitting big on the flop. The button and small blind folded and the big blinded raised it up to 60.

Everyone called including myself and we were off to the flop. The flop came 10 spades, J spades, 4 spades, WOW!! I just flopped the nuts. The big blind bet out 100 and everyone folded to me. I raised up to 350, which he then reraised to 700. I had around 1,000 chips left so decided to push all-in, setting myself up to win a big pot early on. He immediately called and flipped over AA. I laughed out loud as I was a 97.75% favorite to win (after the beat I put it into a bad beat calculator online). The turn came A, ok a little cause for concern, but still 75% favorite. Then the river came, a Jack. Giving him a full house to beat my nut flush.

Ok, so this guy sucked out real bad to beat me and knock me out, but it wasn't the actual bad beat that angered me (I have taken plenty of them in my time and I have learned to just move on and accept that it is part of the game), but his response to calling me. I asked him how he could think AA was good with that flop, I mean the flush, four flush draw, straight flush, two pair (10 J), straight draw, these were all real possible scenerios in this situation. His answer to me..."there were no over cards on the board." No over cards?!?! are you fing kidding me he had AA, correct me if I'm wrong, but I have never seen a card higher than an ace. To add to that another player decided to add his two cents in by saying "ya i would have done the same thing, there were no higher pairs on the board, nice call." My only question is are there poker players out there that are really this idiotic?!?!?
