Where's the "misplayed on every street" option?

Good point. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

We all know that the fish play too many hands and then misplay the bad hands they choose to start with. This is exactly what happened here.

Hard to believe but there are three people (so far) who think that a Shia pushed rule of 2/3 of registered voters - in a province- voting against a constitution is the an example of good democratic principles.

I refer to them as the Lemmings!

Default Where is...

"an example of poor hand selection, exacerbated by terrible play to the point where we are bordering on drawing dead and desparately looking to find a fold, but are so pot committed that we can't."

Honestly, I don't think our hand selection was that poor.

Our pocket cards were the WMDs of Saddam and the 9-11 of Al Qaeda.

Unfortunately, the flop was Insurgents of Baghdad, Insurgents of Al Sadr, and the Debacle of Abu Ghraib.

Stupidly, we decided to chase down to the river, despite there being a possible Vietnam draw on the board. At best, we were drawing to a three-outer(WMDs) since a paired Al Qaeda probably would not be enough to win the hand.

We should have released on the flop, but our government remembered the bad beat it took last time it was in Iraq(not killing Saddam), so it stayed in the hand when it was obvious it was beat.
