Must be the magnet

First, let me say that I had a medical procedure this morning, an MRI, that involves a very powerful magnet. So my theory is that maybe all the good or bad luck particles got attracted or repelled into the wrong place.

Whatever it was, my post-hospital poker session was about as fun and profitable as a trip to Radiology. Let me save space by giving the short versions of the four key hands: bad beat, bad flop, suckout, super suckout.

It took me two hours to win one small pot. I dragged two smaller ones in the next hour, then sulked home three racks to the bad.

I thought, believe it or not, that I played pretty well.
