A-10 Diamonds Vs. K-J Hearts

In a Hold-Em all in show down when you are feeling short stacked the best you can ask for is 2%. I had the A-10 and went all in before the flop. It followed up a call of the blinds. Everyone folded except the caller. I had him on two high cards. Was not sure if they were suited and did not think he had an ace. I called his hand correctly and I was in the lead by 2% and decided to make the play. I was really thinking he might fold he had a big stack to save and to take the risk to save his call was well a risk. He called (shit) flop came 8-10-j- I was happy for about three seconds after the ten fell. Next Card comes K. (Shit Again) I do not remember the river card because it was not a ten or an Ace.

You can hang around in a Hold-Em Tournament for a long time playing tight and smart. But to win the whole thing usually comes down to about a 2% difference in your hole cards and that my friends is Hold-Em.
