Getting there

"Getting there" has different meanings in poker, depending on the context. On a micro scale, getting there means hitting your straight or flush draw. On a macro scale, getting there means making the money in a tournament. I've had strong hunches before that I was going to hit a draw, but they never rose to the level of certainty. I have to say, sometimes I'm certain I'm going to make the money. That was the case last night. It's a great feeling. It's probably a little bit like what being Superman feels like :-)
