Mommas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Dealt Cowboys

If you play enough poker, you're going to see some pretty unlikely (and possibly heart-rending) things. 32o cracking Aces, perfect runner runners to lay a bad beat on someone. As part of working off my Party Poker bonus I have put in a bit of work on the cash tables, and during the last two nights I have witnessed KK being run into AA 6 or 7 times. For large amounts. Four times in those two nights it was poor Weak_Player taking it on the chin, which is just obscene. I benefitted from one of those situations last night, when some guy pushed his entire stack into my Aces. Easy call there, and I made a large chunk of cash while I was ordering pizza.

I was just speaking to Weak_Player this morning, and apparently to start his day he took down someone's KK with his QQ. There was action pre-flop, though not all the money went in until the flop came down Q high. Ow.

Weak has therefore declared Cowboys the new Hiltons. And frankly, I'm inclined to agree. Consider yourselves warned!
