Aces a Curse at the Pomme...

I was involved in the sickest hand ever yesterday in the cash game at the Pomme.

I was sat at a crazy table, lots of loose play and nobody particularly worried about pushing all their chips into the middle.

I'm dealt pocket Aces (both red) and decide to limp in as I am sure that someone is going to raise it-up. Sure enough, someone makes it £10 to go. Someone re-raises to £30 and two people call before me. I announce a raise and throw my £30 in. The pot is £156 and I push all my chips in. Players fold around the table but I get a caller. Now, I didn't realize someone was still in the hand so I flip my cards over, showing my Aces. I'm gutted as I do myself out of another potential caller. The player thinks about it and calls, flipping over 4, 6 suited, even though he SAW I WAS HOLDING ACES!!!

The other player was holding Ace, King. Anyway, the lunatic flops a 6 and rivers another one for trips and I lose a £700 pot.

Within 20 minutes, the same player is involved in another massive pot. He is raised on the flop, which doesn't look particularly dangerous and then is put all-in on the turn. He calls, and flips over his own pair of aces. His aggressive opponent shows an open-ended straight and sure enough, he hits his straight on the river, taking all the chips.

Wow, solid poker...
