I'm playing in the nightly 70k guaranteed at pokerstars and I'm doing pretty well. I hate sitting out hands because you just might miss that one double up hand in 100, but when my 9 year old asked me to carry him upstairs to bed I just couldn't say no. Sure enough, I came back to see that I had auto folded AK. Here's what the board looked like.

Doing the right thing is, of course, its own reward, but nice to get a little bonus every now & then. :)

Karma train stopped at your house............great story.

Mine not so sweet. My 10 year old was watching the board for me while I made us lunch. She was calling out what cards I had and I would tell her what buttons to push. Well she is asking me about poker and what was what. (here is where I made my 1st mistake) "Daddy what is it called when the cards are all the same color?" I said its called a flush. "is that good", Yes thats very good, when I get a flush it means I have a very good hand..........."Daddy you have a flush what should I do" (here is mistake #2) I tell her to call the bet. I say "Juliann, what does it say now?" she says " You finished 74th Thank you for playing". I run into my office to see that the "flush" was 8 and 3 of spades which she called KK with. ALL of my hole cards where the same suit, so to her it was a flush.
She will be 11 in Nov. and now has a very good understanding of poker and when NOT to go into daddys office.

LOL. That's the first time in a while I actually laughed out loud. Great story, man. You gotta love the kid for trying to help you out, though. ;)
