I played some poker last night. I had some beautiful tables with genuine donks. You know… the certified types. They passed all their exams and all…

There were some pretty bad plays on these tables let me tell ya! But, when there are bad plays there are bad beats and it seemed I was on the receiving end all night long.

Man was it frustrating. It seems that every time I had a big pair one of the donks had a bigger one, 2 pairs – one of the donk had a set, a set – a bigger set.

I got AA cracked twice (once by runner runner 2 pairs) and KK once (by Q2o!). I split a pot with AA vs 63s. Oh! I have to show this one:
