| Ahh, the never ending agony of sucking at poker! Yesterday I played in the Haig Kalogian $200 tournament at Oceans Eleven. 203 people started and I was doing well. We were down to 5 tables of 9 minus 4 players (41 left). I was second in chips at my table, and well above average for the remaining players, (203 x $2000 = $406,000/41=$9902 average stack) with around $17,500 in chips. The big stack has been pushing around the rest of the table. I'm in the BB ( Blinds $400/$200 with $75 antes) and I get Q8 of diamonds. The big stack make sit $800 and everyone folds to me. I call. The flop is 8,7,3 all spades. I make a move at the pot with a $1500 bet. Big Stack calls. I put him on a big flush draw, like Ace or King of spades with a 9 or 10 off suit. The turn is a rag, like a 2 of diamonds or something useless. I make my move...ALL IN!!! He immediately calls with the 10, 6 of spades. I'm drawing dead and out! POKER SUCKS!!!
