It doesn’t take Superman to squash bullets to pieces. It happened to me 2 weeks ago at Metro Card Club.
I have pocket of Aces and raise it to PHP120. Gary L. moves all in with short stack of PHP350. Gary has been losing all night to some of the people on the table. He likes to move all in with only a top pair and low kicker. I was feeling bad for the guy. His buy-in must have been 4K already. The guy in stripes at the button moves all in too with PHP 450. My stack got both covered. What do you do but call it having the best hand pre-flop.

But I wasn’t overconfident because 4 AAs got cracked on this table within the last hour.
Flop: 7? A? 4?
I hit my set at this point. Good. Best set on the flop.
Turn: 8?
I was wary of a possible straight. People play connectors.
River: 4?
Whew, that 4 gives me a great 5-card hand with full house of As and 4s.
SHOW TIME:
The striped guy had Q and 9 suited.
Gary shows a pocket of 4s. The sub-standard version of bullets.
QUADs.
…and that my dear, is how you knuckle-punch piercing bullets.
