I lost a hand yesterday to a one outer yesterday which I would like to share with you all. It was in a SnG and there were four players left. Blinds were at 100/200 and I was in the small blind. I was dealt
. First two players folded and I just called to see a flop. Probably a mistake, I should've been raising to steal the blind. Anyway he calls and flop comes down
. Good flop for me, flush draw and middle pair. I bet and was called. The turn was
. Great I've made my flush. I lead out and bet and was raised, so all my chips went in and I was called. He turns over
. He's dead to one out, the
to give him the straight flush, which duly obliges on the river.
I must admit when the chips slid over to him I initially thought there was a bug in Party's software. Things tend to take a while to sink into my brain but I soon realised what had happened. I never get angry or annoyed when bad things happen to me in poker because I know the good times far outweigh them. You see many other players start abusing the chat feature in this kind of instance and start calling peoples mothers funny names, and, I must admit I did reach for my keyboard and typed "Merry Christmas" and then duly left the table so the others could continue their game.
