That's a squirrel. A blind squirrel you lucky bastard.

What do you mean did you play this wrong? You know you didn't so why even ask. It gets annoying when people ask what they did wrong after they get bad beat to hell....nothing, you got bad beat, thats it.

I guess you didn't pick up the sarcasm in the header. Sorry bout that.

Is this actually a $200+15 or was that a joke as well? If not I may need to switch from my Party tournaments to ones at Stars.

If a blind squirrel can do it occasionally, a blind hog is probably good for once in a lifetime.

And at level VI, no less. Something's wrong with that picture. Maybe it's time I stopped piddling around with 20+2's.

Blind hog is probably more appropriate, because at least a squirrel would know what to do with it when he got it.

The winner of this hand showed up at my table somewhere in the 300/600 level and went from 23K in chips to out in the space of 32 hands. To his defense, he did get rivered twice when he went in with the best of it.

Somehow I just don't feel any better. And yes, this really happened in a $200 tourney. My head hurts. I have to go to sleep now.

No one thinks there may be some merit to going all-in instead of reraising the 1200 to 2400? There are flush and straight draw cards on the board that you may want to scare out, and a decision for 1875 might (unlikely, but might) be different than the raise? In fact even if you think an all in will be called here, wouldnt it still be better? You are calling it down anyway, but the only way you are going to extract the last 675 is to get it now, in case the turn card misses him?
