Re-Bet's Bad Run

Re-Bet has been running bad. He was down for his trip to Vegas, which just came to an end. Here are some of the lowlights:

1) He entered a $330-entry tournament at the Venetian. The field was around 600 players. About two hours into it, and with an average-sized stack, he got it all-in preflop with AA vs. AK and KK. The flop was all blanks, so AK was drawing dead and KK was drawing to one out, which hit on the turn.

After the hand was over, an old man at the table shook his head ruefully and with an air of hard-earned wisdom said, "People always overcommit with aces."

2) He lost a $700 heads-up pot in a $1-2 NL game to a performer in Stomp, one of the shows at PH, who was playing before going on stage. The guy was all-in on the turn with bottom pair and no draw, after calling a $45 reraise preflop with 3-4 offsuit. Re-Bet just had second pair, but it was good until the river.

3) Discouraged, he decided to leave Vegas. He was on the highway, driving through the desert past Kingman, Arizona and hit a deer. He got out of the car and the deer was gone, but the car's front end was ruined.

The car was still driveable so he kept going. Not an hour later, he got pulled over by a cop and got a ticket for driving with only one working headlight.
