The canonical cooler

The most memorable hand of last night's session was one I lost, as is often the case with memorable hands. It was the canonical cooler - I was dealt pocket kings, and an opponent was dealt pocket rockets. Before the flop, I was already a 17.82% dog. The only reason I didn't hit the felt was because I had my opponent covered at the start of the hand. Despite failing to make the money in either tournament I entered, I was generally happy with my play.
