The pain...the pain...ACES CRACKED TWICE!!!

So,I get to the casino and there is a seat open. Unfortunately it is to the right of the human card rack woman from last night who won over $2300.
I sit and wait for a hand to play as Marty(her name) is raking in hand after hand with some of the most amazing crap I have ever seen. $30 pre flop bet? No worries cause Marty will call. She started with $200 and within 45 minutes had over $1200 in front of her! 6-3 becomes a full house. K-5 becomes a straight. A-6 suited becomes a flush. 8-3 becomes trips. River beats etc.

I am dealt pocket aces in the small blind and raise to $20 and get 6 callers? The flop comes A-Q-3. Checks all around and I bet $100. I am screaming that I have the ace here everyone!!Two callers. Next card is a 10...not good. First player goes all in for 80 and the next one folds. I call because there is too much money in there to fold my trip aces. The guy has the straight of course and I lose a biggy. Not a happy camper folks as I have been losing with some great cards down here the past 24 hours.Oh well....it is a glitch.

About 10 hands later I am dealer boy and I look down at AA again. Lead guy bets $10 and everyone calls of course.I raise to $100 and Marty of course calls me. The flop is Q-J-9. She goes all in and I only have around $150 and I call. She has 10-8(are you kidding me here????) and felts me!!!

I simply looked at her....patted her on the back and said: "Nice hand",and walked away down $300 for the night. I know that it happens but it is so distressing to lose like that when I see some of these players calling huge bets with spec hands and hitting. Marty won a tourney at Morongo Casino the other morning for $7500 and then $2300 last night. When she won the tourney she was telling us the story of her amazing suck outs...river this...river that etc.
and is well on her way to another great night. Good player...I will give her credit BUT....calling huge bets with the crap that she plays? I just don't know.
So...my winnings are still about $1000 but this last 24 hours have taken their toll on my confidence and I think that I may be done until Vegas on Monday.
