It is a grim day, indeed. I have folded the nuts. Just a lesson for you all: never, ever take the time to type a witty comment into the text box before pushing your nuts to a reraise on the river:

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ Hero (6 max, 6 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

SB ($17.18)
Hero ($64.37)
UTG ($67.73)
MP ($35.24)
CO ($8.49)
Button ($38.61)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 3/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 3/images/graemlins/heart.gif. SB posts a blind of $0.1.
UTG calls $0.25, MP calls $0.25, CO calls $0.25, Button calls $0.25, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero checks.

Flop: ($1.35) 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 3/images/graemlins/spade.gif, T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Villian bets $0.25</font>, MP calls $0.25, CO calls $0.25, Button folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $2</font>, Villian calls $1.75, MP folds, CO folds.

Turn: ($5.85) 3/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $3</font>, Villian calls $3.

River: ($11.85) 2/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $8</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Villian raises to $35</font>, Hero says "flush taken by full house?" and times out and folds.
Final Pot: $54.85

It took you 30 seconds to type that?

I don't know what happened. I think his action was slow, and some time had elapsed on my decision before I typed that. I'm a f-ing idiot.

It serves you right for being a jackass.

Not only is that awful, it's a huge tell. When someone says "I think I got outdrawn", and raises, they have the nuts.

It's dumb in so many ways. Of course, he would have made the crying call here.

I think posting the hand publicly is the best way to deal with my shame.

I would have kept it to myself and pretended it never happened. Deny, deny, deny. That's what you get for talking ish.

I think this would have been a perfect one for 'if you're not going to put your stack in when you hit, then you shouldn't be playing that hand' like when people hit low flushes with suited connectors.

I think that's what he was trying to do. He was trying to maximise his earn, and PP f---ed up.

How about being in PP - 3 tables - and also erading the internet.
I see pocket aces and as I switch I get folded!

At first I thought it was a timeout (bad enough). So, I got the HH and it says "folded". No mention of timeout.

Or the time where I was so engrossed waiting for a certain draw that I didn't notice that I had hit a runner-runner str for the nuts! Not a big pot - in fact a small one - but still annoying to fold it.

So either I clicked the fold button or it was some sort of interaction with the internet browser (which ahs actually happened to me before).

If that makes you feel better well - to quote a famous Jewish saying:

"The problems of the many is a solace to the fool"
