Yankee Attitude

[Doddsy]

OK, I know most of us on here know that Americans think they are the best poker players on earth, and sorry to complain about another bad beat (don't want to make that a regular post on my behalf) but I have to let my anger out:@ Playing in a 0.10/0.25 cash game sitting in middle position. Holding 99 so make a small raise just to try and steal the blinds, raise up to $1. Everyone folds apart from the button who raises it up to $5. Normally I would throw the hand straight away but this guy has been making large raises all night so I call. Flop comes 2 4 9 all unsuited. I am holding the nuts, so check. Opponent raises $10, so I put him on a higher pair or representing an AK, AQ. I re-raise $25.00, he goes over the top again putting me all in for my remaining $47. I call immediately and sure enough he has AA. What happens next is one of the worst bad beats I've had. Turn comes 3. I'm safe. River comes 5 and he makes a straight busting me out.:cry OK, bad beats happen and if he had caught an Ace, I probably wouldn't be complaining (as much) but for 2 cards to come down in a row like that makes me want to scream.:wall But then, he starts having a go at my play saying he was beating me all the way and that I didn't know what I was doing and how much more he would love to play me to take the rest of my bankroll off me! Didn't want to argue on the table as I think it looks very unprofessional. Fair enough I was behind before the flop and possibly I should have thrown it there and then but I had the nuts when the flop was dealt and he caught 2 lucky cards. Why do Americans have to rub it in so much? Anyway, ramble over, cheers guys I feel better already.:ok
