My Final Hand
So I had just dropped a monster pot a few minutes ago after bluffing into the chip leader at my table who was on a rush like I haven’t seen in quite a while. This was a doubly difficult situation cause not only was she on a rush, but she’s a very good player as well. I figured that she just COULDN’T have a hand again and I proceeded to donk off about half my stack to her flopped full house – ARGHHH!
In any case, I looked down in first position to find one of my favorite hands

I’ll admit that I was steaming a bit but I decided to put my stack at risk to pick up the blinds and antes (and to hopefully get myself back on some kind of roll). Well it would have worked if it weren’t for that same chip leader’s CONTINUED streak.
As you can probably tell from my tone, she of course had
and promptly ended my day.
Looking back I was pissed at the beats that I’d taken, I hadn’t caught any cards in over 2 hours (don’t think I saw one pocket pair) and I was trying to make things happen. I’ll take this as a lesson in how NOT to get a streak going.
