Mr. Big Stuff

Because I'm of a certain vintage, I remember certain songs. That's true of everyone. The song that comes immediately to mind as I sit down to think about last night's session is "Mr. Big Stuff." Wikipedia informs me that this song was a huge hit for Jean Knight in 1971, when I was twelve years old. Here are the opening lines:

Mr. Big Stuff
Who do you think you are
Mr. Big Stuff
You're never gonna get my love


Last night, on two separate hands, I thought I was Mr. Big Stuff. Even though I didn't have a truly premium hand in either case, I went all in. Lady Luck wagged her finger at me, tut-tutting and shaking her head. "You're never gonna get my love that way", she said. Sure enough, I lost both hands. After that, I settled down for some better poker. Even though I didn't win back all that I'd lost, I felt that I had successfully dialed back in to poker reality. That bodes well for tonight's session.
