Not what I had hoped ......

..... for my 100th post on this blog

because it is about how poker can drive you crazy some times !

No-one plays without getting what they consider 'bad-beats' but tonight it was the hands I didn't play which laughed at me.

Twice I folded 22 to large raises and both times I would have beaten the AA I would have been calling. Worse than that, in the first instance not too long later the same player got me all-in with his AA v my KK, and in the second example the same player got me all-in with his KK v my 77. No surprises that in neither case did my lower pair get lucky when it mattered.

But what can you do ? Just accept it, sleep on it, and hope for better luck next time.
