First of all when she said "you got it" I threw up a little in my mouth because I know that's some sort of reverse rigged psychology and second of all I know how far behind I am, in fact I'm pretty certain I'm drawing dead to her 9T!?! Flop 9 high, turn and river are blanks and I'm completely disgusted.

Haha, this reminded me SO much of the last tournament I played in Vegas. There were ~120 runners iirc, and we were down to the last 40 or so. The final 2 tables cashed and I had a decent stack. Folded to short-stacked LP who moved in and then folded to SB, who re-raised. I looked down at AQs in the BB, and went all-in for some large amount. I don't remember the specifics, only that SB and myself were very close in chips and very far ahead of the rest of the table - his raise did not commit him. Anyway, he tanked for 2 years and finally came to the conclusion of "I have to call you, man". He tabled 87s and 30 seconds later I was steaming back down the strip to my hotel.

To make matters even worse, I decided to deal with my mega tilt by playing in a 1-2 NL game at the Monte Carlo where I was staying. You need to consider 2 things. 1) The biggest NL game I had played at the time was NL50 on Party because 2) I sucked at poker back then. The first hand I played, I got stacked for $160. Good times.


Ok, sorry for the hijack, but that bit about the tournament reminded me so much of my last trip to Vegas. Anyway, these reports are good, keep them coming!
