Flopping the stars

The most memorable hand of last night's session was the final one. I lost a hand I thought was a sure thing. It was so disorienting, I momentarily forgot that I'd made the money. I was dealt QTo (queen ten offsuit), and flopped a king high straight. In other words, I flopped the moon. The problem with flopping the moon is that you'll lose to opponents who turn the stars :-)

This is an excerpt from my October 13, 2018 post. Last night, my most memorable hand was the one where I flopped the stars. I was dealt pocket nines, and the other two nines appeared on the flop. I didn't dare bet my hand until the river, and it was a modest bet at that. I'm happy to report that I got one caller :-)
