Tournament play in the cutoff, 15k stack, and pocket threes. The button has a larger stack but the blinds are both between three and four grand.
With no action behind me, I raise to three grand, happy to settle for the blinds, The button folds, and both blinds shove. They have AJ and AQ.
Flop is 3-4-8 and I’m giddy. Then the river and turn come 2-5. The Broadway boys have sucked out a wheel and split the pot.
I was still in good shape with just under 12k in chips, but the absurdity of the hand made me laugh.
