Dear Mr. Ayre,

Just a quick note to thank you and your fine staff for the following...



Had you not delivered the river deuce, this hand would've gone the way of my other misplayed hands--a moment of embarrassment when the cards were shown and then buried forever in a hand history file. Instead, you've given me the opportunity to reflect on how poorly I played it and, importantly, the opportunity for others to mock me into perhaps thinking before acting. Like most of my college relationships, my actions seemed right at the time but, when exposed to sober reflection and honest critique by others, shameful and worthy of change.

Thanks again for the second chance.

Your friend,

Edmond

P.S. Following this hand with JJ v QQ on a ragged board was a nice touch. ED

Apparently, Full Tilt didn’t take kindly to my last post in which I referenced a heifer in a Full Tilt hat. I was mindlessly multi-tabling low stakes NL this morning while watching Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal mix it up in the finest Wimbledon men’s final in a number of years. The cooler team must’ve had the morning off, and I managed to grind out a buy-in or so when Tilt punished me with this little gem.

UTG had 8 8 (a straight, Ten high) and WON (+$42.10)
Hero had 9 9 (three of a kind, Nines) and LOST (-$44.60)

Fortunately, I’d just burned off a good chunk of my stack on the previous hand when AA < 88 so the wound wasn’t as deep as it could’ve been. Still, crack my AA with 88…whatever. But it is too much to ask that my top set actually holds to an under pair? Seriously, there’s some sickos behind the curtain at that site.

Had a nice session on Full Tilt last night for about two hours...until these little gems hit just about back to back.

First, my straight gets swamped by a boat at the river. All the money was in on the turn.
