Tenliness is next to quadliness

Last night, even though I had a losing session, the poker gods showed me a little love on one particular hand. They threw a four of a kind my way - specifically, quad tens. Tenliness is next to quadliness :-) No poker player ever gets used to getting quads; they're just too rare.

I've mentioned fingerfehlers before; last night, a fingefehler ended up costing me $62,750. When I selected my seventh table, I didn't realize I'd scrolled down a little too far in the PokerStars lobby; as a result, I picked a $22,500 buy in tournament instead of one at the $45,000 buy in level I intended. I came in first in that tournament, meaning I only ended with half the profit I would have had had I picked the right buy in. I still wouldn't have made a profit on the night, but it would have made for a more palatable loss.
