5 hands later, I lost $200 by overlimping A8s and raising BB's turn bet on a 44JA board. It was checked through on the river, 74o good. This marked the end of my streak so I got the hell out of there just 40 hands later. Later, I would dance to the White Stripes' "I'm Finding it Harder to be a Gentleman".
