Live play in Las Vegas

If you think that you are getting burned too often online, I have a thing or two to say to you.

I was watching the WSOP and a guy had limped AA and let the BB come in for free with 72o and hit a set 77K on the flop. On the turn he waited and waited and shoved all his chips in and the guy, Rafe Furst, called off all his chips and then proceeded to suckout on the river.

Later Rafe had A8o and raised all in and was called by AK and proceeded to river a Jack to double pair the board and chop the pot again and survive. he later went on to win the bracelet.

I was playing in a tournament and got all my chips in with 88 and lo and behold this old timer woke up for the second time in 3 hands to have JJ and I was knocked out.

Today, I had AA in the BB and two limpers and then a guy goes all in. The pot is about 2700. I have 2100 left after posting the bb of 400. I made a mistake and just called meaning to go all in to get rid of the limpers, but they folded anyway.
I was HU against a local casino employee and he had 99. needless to say, he spiked the only remaining 9 in the deck(one guy said he folded a 9 preflop). I lose over half my stack after having that guy crushed.

The next hand I am in the SB with about 900 left after posting SB of 200. I have AJo and shove all in. The BB calls showing down AK, imagine that.

So the point of this is that even live you get rivered and your monster hands run into bad luck and that is poker. Just forget about it and move on. I can honestly say that when my AA got cracked I didn't think twice about it, because that is life and we all need to accept what we cannot change.

as a sidenote, I watched a donkey tourist fold the nuts against someone that was all-in because he was not paying attention in a multiway pot and when the one person folded he thought he won and did not turn up his hand but mucked it instead and lost a huge pot because he was not paying attention. It was one of the most ridiculous things I have seen in live play. He assured his demise by being unobservant.
