My own two outer looses seem so insignificant now...

Gig just had a 2 outer hit on the river vs him for a 36k swing....

AK vs JJ allin preflop, K turn, J river, ugh.

Race b4 flop extenuates, but still, that's 18k per card.

How WILL gig pay his rent now?

[Blarg]

Wow. Somehow I wonder if he panics less at losing $36k than I do at $36, though.

Gotta respect a hand that's better than yours going in, and then even becomes trips to beat you. If you're gonna be beat by anything, that's the way to do it. For me, anyway.

Was this the 1/4 Million GTD, where he took 2nd and $36k? I didn't realise rents were so expensive in Iowa.
