12/07 Bad Beat

[Sponger15SB]

Here is one from the archives. This happened at least a year ago. I've posted about it several times since then. I've told more people. I considered buying a full page ad in the Washington Post to tell more people. I was so pissed off by it that I punched a tiny hole in the wall and cut my hand. I am seriously still mad about it even a year later. I guess its just one of those bad beats that you'll always remember...
