Blind luck

One of the fascinating things about poker is that no matter how long you've played, you'll never run out of novel experiences. Things will happen to you that have never happened to you before; you will intermittently, but forever, experience personal firsts. Last night, I experienced another. In the second tournament I entered, I was severely short-stacked and fell in two hands in a row. The first time I was in the big blind; the second, in the small. I won both hands. That was simply blind luck (no pun intended :-)).
