Payback is a motherfucker:
I'm not proud of the following hand. I just wanted to show you that I can donk it up with the best of them. Let's start it out with this jewel:
Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (6 max, 5 handed) converter
Preflop: Hero is BB with Ad, As. MP =#A500AF(donkey)/ posts a blind of $4.
1 fold, MP =#A500AF(donkey)/ (poster) checks, 2 folds, Hero raises, MP =#A500AF(donkey)/ calls.
Flop: (4.66 SB) Kh, 7c, 9h (2 players)
Hero bets, donkey calls.
Turn: (3.33 BB) 4s (2 players)
Hero bets, donkey calls.
River: (5.33 BB) 8c (2 players)
Hero bets, donkey raises, Hero calls.
Final Pot: 9.33 BB
Results in white below:
Hero has Ad As (one pair, aces).
donkey has 6d Td (straight, ten high).
Outcome: donkey wins 9.33 BB.
M'kay... this was the reason that I was sitting at this table.
Now, time for payback:
Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (6 max, 5 handed) converter
Preflop: Hero is MP with 9c, Qc.
1 fold, Hero raises, 1 fold, SB =#A500AF(donkey)/ calls, 1 fold.
Flop: (5 SB) Ac, Ad, 4s (2 players)
donkey checks, Hero bets, donkey raises, Hero 3-bets, donkey caps, Hero calls.
Turn: (6.50 BB) 8c (2 players)
donkey bets, Hero calls.
River: (8.50 BB) Tc (2 players)
donkey bets, Hero raises, donkey 3-bets, Hero calls.
Final Pot: 14.50 BB
Results in white below:
donkey has As 5s (three of a kind, aces).
Hero has 9c Qc (flush, ace high).
Outcome: Hero wins 14.50 BB.
Initially, when I was check-raised, I had the feeling I was being bluffed. I've seen this happen before all the time. I'll re-raise when I actually have the ace and they'll fold. That's what I was hoping for. So then once I saw the turn bring me 9 possible outs, I had a 1 in 4.5 possibility of catching my flush. I was getting 7.5 to 1 on my money, so I called. What do ya know. I caught my flush. I was afraid of capping because of the paired board though.
Once again, I'm not proud of this hand. But yet, I'm proud that I was on the giving end of a bad beat.
Let's examine who the bigger donkey is though:
Hand #1:

Only 5 to 1 dog now getting 7.5 to 1 on my money
OK...it's a close race on the biggest donkey. I was only a huge dog after the flop. And then just a pretty big dog after the turn. So basically, on Hand 1, he was a big dog before teh flop, after the flop, and a huge dog after the turn. Hand 2, I was a small dog before the flop, huge dog after the flop, big dog after the turn. I think I win by a small margin.
Ok, enough defending myself. I SUCKOUT G00T!
