Don't you love when the cards are on your side?

[Emperor IX]

So I've been playing this table pretty much TAG. until suddenly I got an awesome rush of cards, about four times in a row I made the same raise to 4x the bb, with AJ, AQ, QQ, and K10 (Marginal, but hey, I was on a rush lol)

Then this happened (This is right after the K10 went to showdown)

[Emperor IX]

Not always on my side I guess.

Bubbled it. When downhill after my A5 turned into trip fives

Opponent had A4 (board obviously 2 5 3 5) went all in and he called. I really hate spending all that time and not getting a dime, especially when the guy who's been sitting out since the final table started is still in and gets paid.
