Million dollar table

Last night, the table I joined became a million dollar table. That is to say, the total of the chips of all the active players at the table reached a peak of over a million play dollars, and hovered there for about 15 hands. When the table was at its peak of $1,074,720, I had a healthy stack of $143,476 but that only managed to put me in fourth place!

I played very well for over 99% of the session, but made a disastrous decision at the end that took me to the felt in one fell swoop. Here's the final hand of the session, in all its painful glory:

I can't fully explain why I made such a risky move. The massive amount of chips at the table was tantalizing, surely. Also, everyone was playing pretty loosely, and I felt I had a good chance to double up. I was tired of seat 6 bullying the table. And to top it all off, I was mentally tired. The truth is, I'm not 100% ashamed of making this move; you need to have guts to really go somewhere in poker.

I don't have the hand statistics for the simple reason that I was too shell-shocked to remember to save them :-) I do know the number of hands I played, however - 114.

delta: $-40,000
