Cruel river

You might think, with a title like this one, that I had a losing session on Saturday night. Actually, I made a healthy profit. However, that was due to an in-session rebound, since I hit the felt at the second table I joined (I quit the first table, since the pace of play was too slow). The "cruel river" hand was my penultimate hand at the second table; the river card that gave me the nut flush gave my remaining opponent a full house at the same time. There's absolutely nothing you can do to avoid situations like that; they're guaranteed to happen to you every so often, and you just have to accept that fact and deal with it. You need to guard against going on tilt.

Did I go on tilt after that heartbreaking hand? I must admit that I did, though not egregiously. The very next hand I was dealt an ace ten offsuit, and went all in with it. I lost to pocket aces. Ace ten offsuit is certainly not the best hand to go all in with, but it's not too shabby, either.
