A-A v. 8-J (10-4-6-Q-9) [hold 'em 2/4]
i raised the limit at every possible chance. everyone else, save 'titanic clown,' folded out on the turn. he hit his queen-high straight on the river. the pot was about 48 dollars at that point.
it was my farewell hand, too!

Were you convinced he didn't have anything? If he kept calling, I would've worried about him holding QT or Q6. I'm not sure where numerically I want to vote... kind of your standard online poker screwage.
How many people were still in at the Turn? You made it sound like a bunch played through the flop. Did this guy just hang in there because the pot was so huge, maybe?
5 players prior to the turn. 3 people saw the turn. the important thing is position: i was in first position, raising out of the blind. (everyone knew i had a big hand; in fact, he appologized when the 9 hit the table, 'cause he knew he had cracked As or Ks). 'titantic' was in the middle of the table, and the third player that stayed in for the turn was in very late position. so the third player may have been limping in, hoping that he would flop a two pair or trips and win a big pot. but calling a raise from the middle position, when you have no idea if a re-raise is coming from behind you? not something you would do with 3-4 (maybe the best draw in that situation). here's the thing: if he had T-T or Q-Q, he would have raised post-flop or on the turn, respectively. he called, called, called. what did i put him on? K-10, something like that. top pair with a big kicker. i was hoping for A-10, with an A falling on the turn or river. what makes it awful is not that i lost with aces, but that i lost to a J-8 gutshot on the river.
Well, though we're still sorting out scale, I guess I'd have to give you a -3.5 Pokarma for that one. You were playing with the "best" possible hole cards in Hold 'Em, only to be Komodo Dragon'd...
