This is how my day has been. Making good plays in marginal situations and getting screwed.

Hero showed K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (high card Ace) and LOST (-$20.60 NET)

When he called the turn I thought for sure I was screwed but I actually had him drawing to 10 outs. winning with A high would have really lifted my spirits
