Exhibit B: Quit the poker straight after this one, so it didn't save the hand history, here's a screenshot for your amusement. This is a preflop all in btw.
Edit: It's at the bottom of the page.

Not Aces but an example of why folding triple Q's on the flop could save you some money too.

These were the only three hands I was all-in today, except for an AA preflop all-in which thankfully nobody called and I made 75c. Going grand winning small/medium pots all day - up $50 and then these 3 hands all within 45 minutes me leave me down $30. If you don't like reading about bad beats, I don't care. I'm sure some people here will be interested in this.

Hitman Actual

These threads have been done to death, but I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're just having a laugh. Use smilies the next time.

Tackle

I imagine what happens in the vc control room is something like this:

Worker: Uh oh, looks like we've got someone winning some money off the retards again. What way do you want to play this sir?

Boss: God damn it, will they ever learn. OK Jim, deal this guy the bullets. We won't get fancy here, just pick one of the retards who's been losing all day and deal him the cowboys. Now be ready to deal a K if they go all in, if not, we'll work something out on the flop.

Worker: Got it boss. What's my cut of the rake again?

Tackle

It gets better!!!!
