Well, this just sucked...And this sucked, too:

Out in 2 tournies....I'm realizing that poker is a game of LUCK. And No matter what you do, you can never be 100% sure that you will
a.) win or
b.) be the best
So freakin frustrating...

Min raises make Baby Jesus Cry.

duggle's right. don't minraise (where have you heard that before?).

you got unlucky in both hands. it's part of the game. all you can do is play your hands correctly. then, it's up to the poker gods.

Oh yeah, I'm a donkey.
