Bad Beat # 1

So I arrive at the game and I have to wait for a seat. No big deal, I like to watch and get a read on my future opponents. The game is 1/2 NL Texas Hold'em. Seat # 8 is getting drawn out on every hand he plays. Great flop for this player, and then the turn or the river destroys his hand. Even if he pushes, someone calls. Seat # 4 announces that she is leaving in 45 minutes, so I start to anticipate playing! Seat # 4 is getting great cards, and they are holding up, and she is taking down some huge pots. If her hand isn't so great on the flop, well the turn or the river make it the best. I am excited to take this seat. Finally, she stands up, and I sit down, but just as the dealer is about to deal me in, the player in seat # 8 says that he wants a seat change as his seat is so unlucky. So he moves to seat # 4, and I get seat # 8. As I pass him to change seats, I say, "Now don't get mad when I take all of your money, you wanted the seat change..." He laughs and says, "No way that seat is so unlucky tonight."
The dealer deals the cards I look down to find pocket Aces! I raise to $15, and get four callers before seat # 4 raises it up to $40. Everyone folds to me, and I push all in for a total of $120. Everyone folds to seat # 4, who gets all flustered, and says, "I should fold... will you show me one card..." I say, " sure, pick either one.." I flip over the card he chooses, it is an Ace. He deliberates for about five more minutes, then says, " I am a donkey for making this call, but I call." He flips over pocket Queens. Now I was happy he called because the odds were in my favor, but I would have been happy to take the pot down right there as it already had $223 in it. The flop was 10, 10, 3 . Good so far. The turn was an 8. I know you can guess what the river card was, that's right one of his two outers, a Queen. Turns out seat # 8 was cursed, but it just goes to show you have to PLAY SMART and GET LUCKY!
