Hi all.

I had QQ in middle position.BB was 1000.

I raise 4BB. One caller on button.

My stack 25000 chips, his stack 29000.

Flop was 5 Q 5. I think,great.

I bet 2000,he calls.Turn was 10.

I bet 4500,he calls.River 3.

I'm all-in,he calls and shows 5 5.

I'm out......grrrr

Ouch, that one really hurts! You just never know. I have a rule where if someone is betting that hard against me, I really have to figure what are the odds of him having a better hand, even though mine is good.. I generally let him take it, especially if it's an all in situation. Otherwise I may pay to see what he's got! Hey! that's poker!
