Funny PJ, "Why can't I ever get hands like these" is the same thing I thought, back in July sometime, as I watched you try to steal from the button against a CRAsian (Crazy Asain) BB. Flop is 3 non-paint hearts, no straight flush available. CRAsian leads, calls 6th flop bet, blank turn and blank river to see your AK hearts and cries over his 62 hearts. I would have gotten exactly the blinds on that hand against the same villain.

I guess there is varying degrees of envy.

Ha, yeah I remember that hand. (Though I don't really count raising AKs an attempt to steal from the button). That seems like many decades ago... there was a time this summer when I could actually get that hand to hold up. But if you knew how bad I'd been running the past 5 weeks... aiya. Now every time in this situation the river pairs the board and villain turns over a runner runner boat to cackle in glee as he scoops the chips.

Hey Tim -- when are you coming back to LA?
