Litany

I know nobody reads any more, which is fine as I have given up this blog and only use it to let off steam over my credulity-stretching bad fortune in tournaments.

Specials from the last 6 tourneys I've played:

NLHE: All-in preflop, we both have AK. No worries, the little extra from the folded hands all helps. Two hearts on the flop. I note with a sinking feeling that he has the Ace of Hearts, while I have the King. Heart on the turn, heart on the river, and my stack is decimated by what was a near 50-1 loss when the money went in.

NLHE: Cruising nicely towards the money, the flop is TQQ and we're all-in. I have TT for the house, he has Q9. River is the case Queen, goodnight.

PLO8: Out on the button with AA29 single suited, versus 6642. Not that big a beat, but the timing was just exquisite.

Thank fuck my cash PLO8 is going very smoothly indeed. It's dull, as I've tightened waaay up post-flop, but pretty easy pickings.
