Evermore in vain

Last night, I had yet another evermore in vain session. That's when I play several tournaments, last longer in each succeeding one, but never make the money. The most memorable hand of the session was one that I lost. It took me to the rail in the first tournament I entered. I'd been dealt Js Kd, and the flop came Kh Ks 8h. I was up against two opponents, and was a 70.87% favorite. After the deuce of clubs came on the turn, I was an 83.33% favorite. One of my opponents spiked a flush on the river, though, and that was all she wrote.

Evermore in vain

New definition: an evermore in vain session is an evermore session where I failed to make the money in any tournament. Last night, I had such a session, and thought it might have been my very first one. Analyzing my MTT NLHE data, that turned out to be false. I've had 12 evermore MTT NLHE sessions; two of them have been in vain.
