Bad Beat

I had a really bad beat playing Texas Hold 'Em online yesterday. Luckily, I was only playing a $1/$2 table. I was dealt AQ. The flop came 10-10-A. I think that 4 or 5 players stayed in after this betting round. I had a good hand. Had to be careful of a set of 10s, though. The turn card was a Q. My hand was now stronger because I beat two-pair As and 10s. Still had to be careful of trip' 10s. The river was another Ace! I had the nut full house (AAAQQ)! Now I beat anyone with a 10 (TTTAA) or the last Ace (AAATT). I re-raised and we capped the betting. There was close to $70 in the pot. This one would be sweet...

I lost to four-of-a-kind 10s. Ouch.
