Okay, this happened almost a year ago, but I thought I should share with you guys.
I had A-7, but I decided not to raise before the flop. The flop comes down A-face card-face card (Q-J?). Anyways, I bet $0.75 (his chipstack was somewhere around $7 or $8 ). He calls, and the turn is a 2. No flush out there, so I bet $1.50, and he calls. River is a 5, with no flush possibility. I bet another $1.50, and he calls. I flip over my aces, and it turned out he had a 2-5. -_-

I had something similar, but was actually just a tad worse.
Flopped my ace, and 2 diamonds....I have Ace 8 of diamonds (I think? Might've been something other than 8, I can't remember). Turn a 3, river a king, he shows king 3 for the runners (no kind of draw on the flop whatsoever). So he had to catch 2 of 4 cards, runner runner (his 3 and king of diamonds were obviously dead). I just looked at him with this confused look on my face, and asked what he was doing in the hand to begin with, let alone after I bet it the whole way (no I didn't slow play myself into a loss here).
