funny you bring this up....
I was playing on a 20 sit-n-go on Stars today. I had the chip lead, and there were three people left. I had about 7000 chips. The person to my right had just lost a big pot to the other guy in the game, and this put the person to my right at about 1000 chips. Here's where the fun starts. They called the big blind, which was me, leaving them with close to 800. I had K 10 suited and figured they would fold since they just called the big blind (assuming a so-so hand) so I raised to put them all in. They called. They had AA. Couple hands later they had KK, I had 10 10. Couple hands later, I had AQ, they had AK. Every time they were just a little better. Funny thing, something always hit to make me bet aggressively thinking I had the best hand. The final blow actually came from the other guy though. I'm down to my last 1400 after all this butt-raping from the third guy and in the small blind, I get KK and think its all turning around. All-in. AA from the other guy. Now they both had a chance to get in to me. This sounds like a joke, or tall tale, but trust me it is not. I've had runs, and runs against me, but nothing even close to this. I still got third and got some money back, but I swear I've never been more upset to finish third. I got up from my chair (fresh off a vasectomy, I might add) and kicked over the ottoman that I was resting my feet on. Luckily my sack was still numb from the procedure.
