Default Learned something tonight: Humility.

The price: one buy-in.

Close to the bubble. I'm getting short. Complete with Q9, two limpers.

Board comes QJx, two diamonds. Fire a PSB at it. One caller. Figure I'm leading at this point.

Turn comes a 9, pairs me up. Even better. Toss the rest in, pot's already bigger than my stack. Same caller, flips over K9, two diamonds. Oh, good. Rivers a K.

My comment: "nh donk", close table, steam a bit. Been there, right?

This is the new part though: Went back. looked at the HH, realizes he's priced in. Oops.

Found the table, apologized to him, wished him luck the rest of the way.

It's a wonderful game. Intense though.

Lesson, for me: Absorb the times it doesn't go your way, because, you know what? It evens out.

Stay humble on the tables, all, and treat your opponents with respect. You'd expect the same, wouldn't you.

GL.
