it's not unusual for top two pair to lose to a straight. when you flop two pair with high cards in your hand, you often lose to a broadway when a third (or fourth) high card falls. i saw it happen about five times yesterday playing $3/$6 at the taj mahal.
this table had to be craziest i've ever seen offline. every single hand was a monster. three high cards on every flop, or three of the same suit, and they would improve to four-straights or four-flushes every time. two pair on the board about four times. paired tens on the board about four times, including once where i flopped a set of jacks and got into a monstrous capping war with ATs. because the table was so wacky, i actually feared losing to quad tens. two aces on the flop about four times. a board of AQQKA where the winner had AA and thought he had a full house. i half expected him to lose to a royal! i myself misread my hand (97s in BB) for a mere straight when in fact it was a straight flush!! it was absolutely unreal. AA vs AK. QQ vs JJ. i saw AA dealt out at least four times in only two hours before the table broke up. by that time i had tripled my buy-in from $120 to $360, the most profitable session of my life!!
