A deadly turn

The deadliest cards in poker are the ones which give you a very strong hand, but give an opponent an even stronger one. That's a recipe for losing a ton of chips, up to and including all of them. That's what happened to me on hand 115 on Saturday night. I was dealt 8c Ad, and the flop came 3c 4s 8h. I bet $3,500 and got two callers. The turn was the ace of clubs. I bet $7,500 and got one caller. The river was the three of diamonds, and my opponent, who had me covered, bet $22,000. I snap called, and he turned over aces for a full house. As it turned out, I was actually drawing dead on the river. Only the fact that my opponent refrained from going all in saved me from hitting the felt. He slow-played the hand masterfully. Back to the drawing board!
