When I set at the table there was one half drunk player from Canada. He was having fun pushing $100 into $4 pot, and about $600 in chips. Most of the table were weak players waiting for a big hand. On my left I had Kevin H. a nice young guy, I met last year also at the table.
I was in for $180, and fast had another $300 re buy, but 90 minutes later I had over $900. It all came from the drunk who was playing wild. I made a few calls with only middle and bottom pair knowing he is betting any two cards. Than after I lost two big pots I had to re buy $300 again. I'm in for $780 and I see that I'm not going early to bed like I planned.
First I had pocket Aces and on the 10,10,9 board drunk made a bet followed by $50 raise. I raised another $200 ... and heard "all in". I folded fast and he showed pocket nines. After that came a long period of bad cards, and I was down to $300.
The second one was my own fault. Kevin raised pre flop. I made a nice bet on the flop hoping for one more spade. When on the turn I got the spade I checked. Don't ask me why. I put Kevin on the big pair based on his raise, and I thought he may have K or Q of spades. My check gave him a boat, so when I bet $100 he went all in. Re buy.

The moral of the story: Never, never and absolutely never check the best hand on the turn.
