But that's what happens at times. I can live with that, as annoying as it is.

Just playing 0.05/0.10 limit on PS, with not a lot left, 0.50-ish maybe (bad plays, bad beats, bad night). Dealt 99, looks good. Flop of 445. Looks better. Turn was another 5. He had A8. You can guess what the river was...

I don't know why but those kinds of things seem to happen when you are short. When you have lots and your stack is big, those 93% seems to hold up all the time.

It seems that way. Or at least that's when you remember it more, if you have a big stack it isn't quite as memorable. The whole night was full of hands like that, I wasn't terribly surprised at the outcome. Oh well, I dropped by another site after that hand and made back all of what I lost at that table (not that it was a lot).

He did have two overcards, but I think he definitely overplayed them, like everything else he was overplaying tonight. I just have to remind myself that in the long run, that's the sort of person I want to be calling my better hands
