I'm Holding A Pity Party

[IggyWH]

I now have around 160,000 online hands under my belt. I have never had a Royal and bitch about this all the time. I know when you get one you probably won't get paid off, but it's the luster of the hand and me not getting one. It is my personal unicorn.

I have looked at my past PT stats and while I have never got a Royal, I have also never folded a hand that had I played, would have got me a Royal. Not even some 1 card junk.

Well, today my moment happened. Sadly, I missed the train :

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (10 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

-----------------------

Damn BB was brand new to the table so I was scared to raise in a position raise/steal attempt. Had I raised, maybe he would have just cold-called or made a small reraise that I would have had to call. STUPID STUPID STUPID!
