Bug, Meet Windshield

Woke up early this morning, feeling good. Got my chores done, the morning was quiet and peacful, and had twenty minutes to kill, so I played a little Rush $10NL. Four hand in total. Yes, four. Why only four? Because some days it's clear that the poker gods have it in for you.

I won the very first hand and made $.55 on a bluff. Unfortunateley, here's the hand that immediately followed it:

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (9 handed)
Hero (SB) ($10.55)
BB ($4.97)
UTG ($10)
UTG+1 ($4.62)
MP1 ($7.51)
MP2 ($7.58)
MP3 ($3.99)
CO ($2.80)
Button ($2.65)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A, A
6 folds, Button bets $0.40, Hero raises to $1.30, 1 fold, Button raises to $2.65 (All-In), Hero calls $1.35

Flop: ($5.40) 6, 8, 9 (2 players, 1 all-in)

Turn: ($5.40) 10 (2 players, 1 all-in)

River: ($5.40) 5 (2 players, 1 all-in)

Total pot: $5.40 | Rake: $0.36

Results:
Button had A, A (flush, Ace high).
Hero had A, A (one pair, Aces).
Outcome: Button won $5.04

Arghg. Aces cracked by..... Aces?! WTF?

Hand number three was a small win for $.10, followed by this one:

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (9 handed) -
BB ($10)
UTG ($10.89)
UTG+1 ($9.90)
MP1 ($4)
MP2 ($26.91)
MP3 ($4)
CO ($21.54)
Hero (Button) ($10.10)
SB ($12.76)

Preflop: Hero is Button with K, K
3 folds, MP2 calls $0.10, 2 folds, Hero bets $0.45, SB raises to $1.55, 2 folds, Hero calls $1.10

{I actually had a note on this player that said he was super aggressive and would fire bluffs on each street; ergo, I decided to slow play. Wouldn't have mattered either way, as it turns out...}

Flop: ($3.30) J, A, J (2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks

Turn: ($3.30) K (2 players)
SB bets $1.40, Hero raises to $2.80, SB raises to $4.20, Hero raises to $8.55 (All-In), SB calls $4.35

River: ($20.40) 7 (2 players, 1 all-in)

Total pot: $20.40 | Rake: $1.36

Results:
Hero had K, K (full house, Kings over Jacks).
SB had A, A (full house, Aces over Jacks).
Outcome: SB won $19.04

Time to turn off the computer and do something else. Some days you're the windshield, other days you're the bug.

All-in for now...
