conclusive proof re: AQ

2 more hands i remembered from sunday night's session at oceans 11. AQ is my cursed [read that curse-ed] nemesis. i am just going to snap fold it pre flop....

i raise in early position with AQ and get 4 callers. i flop top pair of Qs so i lead out and get 1 caller. turn is a blank so i bet 3/4 pot, he calls again. he pretty much has to have a spade draw here. i dark check the river with top pair/top kicker, and the river is Js. he bets $100. i ask him if he really chased those spades all the way and he says, "Yep." i fold and he shows me 3s7s. [this is the same guy who cracked my Aces a week earlier with 4s8s.]

later, when we were 4 handed, i pick up AJ on the button and min-raise the straddle to $12. matthew, a dealer who is a fast player, re-raises to $24, i call. flop is A high and i call his $20. turn is a blank and he bets $40. i fold and show him AJ, and he can't believe it. he shows me AQ.

i can't win with it and i can't beat it.
