Some sick action in Chicago Charitable Games

Ok, yesterday went to play in some of CCG event close to my home. I gotta share one hand from that evening.

Cash game 1-2. I'm ~500 deep. One super tight ass raises to 15, I call with AJ off, Loose guy behind me reraises to 45, button calls, blinds fold, initial raiser calls, I'm not freaking folding with so much money in pot. I call extra 30. Pot 183

Flop 10cKdQd. Flopped nut straight.

Check, check, check, button all in 82. Initial raiser calls 82 (he still has ~$200 behind), after thinking for a while I reraise all in, bcs there is a flush draw plus I know the guy on the right will call me anyway, bcs even he is a tight ass, he is a donk and won't lay down any top pair on flop. At the moment I suspect somebody is on set, one of them maybe on A high flush draw, and hopefully somebody has two pair. Guy behind me who reraised preflop is 500 deep and instantly calls my all in. Put him on set of K's.

Pot around $1500. Four people All in on flop. People from all the tables come to our table, even some guys from tourneys jump up to see the action.

ok we flip the cards.

Tight donk has AK (pretty much drawing dead, hoping for chop only). Had ~300 starting the hand.

Me the donk- flip my AJ nuts on flop. ~500 starting the hand.

Loose donk who reraised flips 1010. Set of tens. ~500 starting the hand

Button donk flips KQ two pair. Started ~150 deep.

Ok, in order not to lose, I need to dodge 10, K, 2Q's and whatever hits on turn, so it would pair the board.

6 outs to loose. 4 if A hits on turn. There is possibility runner runner chopping, but I don't really care about that.

Turn 10. Quads. River blank. Loose donk jumps in the air and hits the ceiling with his big head.

I sit down, say Very nice hand and reload. To be honest not even steaming. I knew I was going against at least one set and I knew that I simply need to dodge a few outs to scoop nice pot. Didn't work this time. Some guys were, how the fuck you can be that calm when you flopped the nuts and lost such a huge pot. Answer is simple. That's poker. I learned how NOT to steam after a huge suckout. Not that I don't steam at all, but I can control my emotions much better than a few years back.

Loose donk plays for half an hour, gives some money back to me and stands up. We thought he went home, but it appears that he went to another table, put $200 on table and went $1000+ south.

Thank you very much and have a nice day
