Hit for the cycle

[Invigilator]

I don't have much time right now, so I will have to dig up the hands and post them, but...

Playing 25 max NL the other night I got into an unraised pot in the BB with 72o against a guy who had around 5 bucks. The river turned my flopped second pair into 2 pair ( 7's and 2's) and I busted the little guy.

Next hand: did not play

Very next hand: Got all in with AA against a different players QQ and busted him too.

3 hands, busted 2 players using the best and worste starting hands in poker.

(side note: prior to these 2 hand I had not seen a flop in about 20 hands)

Here are those two hands. I know the first one is pretty horrible, but, well, I can't come up with an excuse. I tend to only post my really stupid hands here anyway. (In my orginal post, I was wrong about how much money this guy hand. He had LESS)
