4 beats full
Well I enter this online no limit game with only $23. My first hand is
 
.  I stay in and the flop shows 
 
 
. Later a 
 comes up and I win with a full house.  I get on a hot streak of 
 
 and 
 
 and so on and get myself up to $69.  Well I start to play tight trying to keep my profits when I get 
 
.  Flop shows 
 
 
 and I have a nut full house Q high.  I'm betting and the turn shows 
  Then the river shows another 
.  I think I have this thing buttoned up with an A high Full House!  I accept an all in bet.  I lose to the guy with a four of a kind.   I didn't see that coming.    Wait, how did he get 4 of kind?  That's impossible!  I must not have remembered the cards right.  I know I lost and I know it said winner 4 of a kind.  Suckage.   -

Stay in low
I had a 2, 3 hearts in a 30 man no limit tournament. I had one of the biggest stacks so I called the $100 to stay in. Two more hearts show on the flop and I called $450 to stay in. I got another heart on the turn. My one opponent raised $1000. The river brought me another heart to complete my flush. He had a pair of 10's. Is it a bad idea to stay in with 2,3 suited if you can afford it? In this case it was a good idea.
