5/10 Party; Freeroll, maybe not, perhaps rolled myself

[noir]

All opponents were pretty much loose passive. I had been running hot and playing hot. I'm nearly certain that the big blind had hatred in his heart with regard to me and my play. I cannot recall any other pertinent game conditions. Well, this went down today.

Final Pot: 26 BB

On the turn, my thoughts were, "I'm rolling you boys, and you don't know it."

Of course I entertained the possibility that I too was getting rolled.

Then I considered the fact that I might not have the best hand. Okay, just because the big blind so badly wants to throttle you doesn't mean he can't have the goods. But I really thought that he simply was blinded by his hand and desire to beat me.

On the river, prudence took hold.

Yes, this is a rare situation. But I strive to be ready for them when they occur and analyze them when they do.
