Had a few beers last night, so gave poker a miss. Quick session this morning on Full Tilt. Balance is now back to $409.61.

Got accused by some muppet of colluding/cheating with the guy to my right in a hand where I raise to $1.75 UTG with 99. Calls from seat 4 and the BB. Flop is an unattractive QJ3 rainbow.

BB checks. I bet $3.5 into the $5.50 pot. Called by seat 4. BB raises (another 11.5) to 14. I re-raise another 11 to 25 and am all in. Seat 4 folds. BB calls.

BB shows K 10 - 2 over cards and an open ended straight draw (although a 10 on the turn will give me some outs). Blank Blank follow and I have more than doubled up.

Seat 4 says -he folded the best hand -and then accuses me of cheating/colluding with the BB. What a nob.

Lesson don't mistake extremely bad play for cheating! I should have given up when the flop produced two over cards. The best I could hope for was that someone was getting frisky with AK or a small pocket pair (basically 88).

I thought my re-raise would drive out seat 4 if he had a pair (although AQ would normally hang around at this level) giving me a chance against one opponent. But it was mostly wishful thinking - I was almost certainly going to find myself behind against the BB, with 2 outs (or needing runner runner nines). I was just very lucky.
