Why?

[Talking Poker]

It is only fair that I post this hand that just happened. When the cards were turned over, I assumed I was dead, like I pretty much always am lately. But somehow, by some miracle, he didn't get there.

I'm considering this a $1200 gift. When you combine it with the scores of "gifts" I've been handing out the past couple of months, it doesn't even make a dent, but for tonight, it did. And I am grateful for it.

ty for your pity, poker gods. I humbly accept.
