That reminds me of a hand I had in a live $1/2 game. Couple limpers, I limp 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], flop comes 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], UTG bets the pot, I flat call. Turn comes 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], UTG bets the pot, I flat call. River is a 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], UTG shoves, I snap call while flipping my cards up.

UTG shakes his head in disbelief and says, "no, it gets worse," and tables 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Usually I'd find a raise in there somewhere, but for some reason I kept flat calling and UTG stumbled into a big losing hand. Luck certainly takes many forms.
