$-2,000.00 Absolute

Awhile back I was playing on Absolute Poker and got my bankroll from 800 to 4500 in less than 72 hours. I found myself sitting at the 5 10 game short handed with 2 others: One guy was really tight and just playing his hand. And the other was loose and quite dumb. I battled with him for a good hour before a caught a wired pair of tens. Avg bet pre was around 40 so i put it at 60. He calls with the flop coming 8 10 8. I was shocked that I might actually be able to take this guy's chips and be done for the night. I check it, he bets 240... I actually thought twice and told myself that I am commited and would see this down (I can't assume he has 88) So I min raise....He SHOVES. Wow.. I didn't know whether to jump for joy or hang myself. I call, he turns over 8 10 off. The anticipation is RUNNING THROUGH MY BLOOD the turn card...... 8............. . .. ..... . . . .

Wow that really sucked but either way you played it, he probably would have called all the way down. You both flopped boats. It sucks!!!! But have seen it happen in some of the wsop's too.
