yeah this happened to me early in my NL training. fold fold fold for hours, then finally get QQ and watch maniac guy make some goofy raise. i'm ready to "drop the fucking hammer" on him and all of a sudden the card-catching luckyfuck in between us beats me to it. well he can't have AA/KK AGAIN can he?? my read tell me yes but i call and he shows KK. to make matters worse, he flops and rivers two more K's to utterly crush my crappy one pair. lesson learned -- TRUST YOUR READS!
