Dear noob with world's worst avatar: this is BEATS, brags, and variance. Please commiserate with me w/o snide comments (which are completely foreign to BBV). I had a straight flush and lost. Not only do I lose my stack, but if Stars has a BBJ, I'd have 2 or 3 hundred grand.

Why didn't you play that hand on a BBJ table?
