I logged in to UltimateBet, picked a $5 table and got ready to play. First hand (and I mean, very first hand) I pick up pocket Kings, on the button.
There's a small raise from mid-position, and a re-raise from the big blind. Not wanting to go crazy, I just call the $240 bet. If there's an Ace on the flop I'm chucking this away. Next thing, the initial raiser pushes all-in, and the big-blind insta-calls.
I've got a bad feeling, that one of them's got the bullets, and a better player probably could have folded the K's and not put their entire tournament at risk first hand. But how do you lay down this hand? The odds are 220/1 that my KK is dominated by the one and only hand better than it, pre-flop. I could have been up against QQ or JJ, perhaps even AK from a really loose/aggresive player. So, I make the call.
The bad news is instant. The initial raiser has QQ, but of course, the BB turns over the Aces. To add insult to injury, he makes the wheel on the turn, so if I had have been up against AK I still would have lost.
