Live tourney -
I'm dealt 6s 6h
raised 3XBB pre-flop - there are 5 callers, I'm 4th to act
flop: 9c 8s 6c - I flop my set.
checked all around to me - I push allin - worried about the flush chasers but not so much a low straight with the preflop raise that was called around - I just want the blinds and preflop raises.
all fold - last one to act hums and hahs, we're even stacked so he has to go allin too....he finally CALLS my Allin with:
Jd Qd
How can he CALL his entire stack with only one card in the deck to help??? He's not even chasing a flush!!
And sure enough, he catches a Ten on the river for the straight.
I sat there stunned - not necessarily that he won - but moreso that he called....I couldnt believe it. Back at home I set those cards up and after a dozen hands I hadnt lost one of them....several times I even ended up in boats.
Unreal...that's my rant - thanks for listening

4 Tens?
But yes, risking all that on an inside straight draw is pretty crazy.
