Yeah, that's right. A $50 pot at a .50/1 table, and nobody in it has the nuts. Of course, things were totally psychotic after this and everyone either busted out or left. I ended up stuck $1.90 which is either horrible on my part, or miraculous avoidance of bad beats.

Forget sunglasses, I need a blindfold to watch this replay.

lol @ syrEEn, "I got rivered and I know it". No, you played a horrible hand from UTG and proceeded to call two raises with it. Post flop is well, attractive, but for how many cold bets is it worth??

I didn't realize how monster-esque KK97 was. Wow, just wow.
