Cursed...

[Talking Poker]

Brag: January
Beat: February
Variance: OMG, the variance!

Being cursed sucks. Seriously, I have been running so badly lately, I can't even believe it. The good news is - IN THEORY - this can't last forever... and I still like my chances in the long run.

But my God the short run can make you want to punch babies.

Here is just one example of many. This one didn't even make me mad. I just laughed, fully expecting it when I saw his cards (admittedly, it was the 9 I saw coming).

First hand, of course.
