I know how he feels. this weekend over three long sessions I got drawn out on it seemed like every time, in the most ridiculous ways possible. so many 4 flushes/ 4 straights. I'd call it as the hand progressed: 'sweet, two pair. turn comes and he goes wild. what's he got? set of aces? no that's just too absurd. he must have made the dumb-ass straight. oh look, it is a set of aces.' also getting caught up with for a chop a ridiculous number of times. what's the lesson I take from it? that poker is a vicious, sadistic game. I haven't yet begun to suspect that the game is rigged--but wouldn't it be funny if we found it some day that it was?!
