Happy Accidents

In the past few nights I've seen a lot of ups and downs. The one consistant thing has been that almost every night I've stayed up too late and finished on a downturn, losing all or most of what I've won earlier in the evening. I decided tonite was going to be different. Stars was good to me tonite....several big hands and with few exceptions they held up. The biggest score of the night was by total accident. I've been playing exclusively at the 10c/25c no limit tables with the full buy-in of $25. I'd been playing on 4 tables and one of them lost a few players so I got up and opened another. By mistake I opened a 50c/$1 table and proceeded to buy in for the max as usual. I guess I had action on the other tables while doing this because I was in my second hand before I realized that I had $99 on the table of the $100 full buy-in. I decided that I would see a few hands and sit out when the blinds came back around to me. In my last hand (UTG) I was dealt AA. I raised to $4 and got 2 callers....not what I was hoping for. The flop came down A25 with 2 spades. I fired $5 into the $13.50 pot hoping to get down to heads up at least. First bad guy folds but the second raises me to $16. I have $90 left on the table to his $24. Now there is more in the pot than he has left so there's no way he's folding, so I ship it knowing I have the best of it for now, and hope it sticks. Of course he calls, the turn pairs the 2 and the river is a meaningless 3. He turns over 55 for a lower full house and I take a $90.40 pot. Whew!
As I said before, I had already decided that I wasn't staying too long to lose back my winnings, so I quit soon after up $110 on the day. If only all accidents worked out so well.
