Chess hammer a bad omen

Even though I abandoned my chess blog years ago, I've never abandoned chess. I've fallen into the pleasurable habit of playing chess before every poker session. In the last month, my chess rating has risen to a new personal best. Last night, however, it took a beating. I played nine games, winning just two and losing seven. Since deuce seven is jokingly called a hammer in poker, I'm calling a 2 and 7 result a chess hammer :-) It was a bad omen, as I missed the money in my poker tournament by a country mile.
