2-outer

I got stuffed by the 2-outer. I mean, it's a 12/1 shot. At such a critical time too.

Despair

I despair sometimes. I just played a $10 STT. Just about every player was super-aggressive. One guy limps with J7o UTG and calls a pre-flop raise by the button. The flop come K74. UTG goes all-in, gets called by top pair and hits a 7 on the turn. You gotta laugh. In the meantime, I play practically no hands. After half an hour, there's 4 of us left. I'm short stacked. I go all-in with A9 on the SB. BB calls with 85o and out I go. What a waste of time, lol.

55

This hand has been driving me mad. We're about 45 minutes into the 1.75k GTD. The blinds are 25/50. UTG limps in. I've KhKc in mid-position and I raise to 200. UTG is the only caller. The flop comes Ts9s2s. UTG bets 450 chips. I go all-in, UTG calls. UTG shows 5s5h and wins when flush is hit.

I'd been playing tight up til that point. What did UTG think he was beating. The play of others is staggering sometimes.
