In irons

In sailing, the term "in irons" is used to describe the situation where you have little to no wind and no boat speed to speak of; you can't do anything but sit there until some wind comes along. On Tuesday night, I was "in irons" at the poker table; I kept getting dealt really poor hole cards, and had to keep folding. A classic poker term for this condition is being "card dead".

I'm still trying to figure out if I went on tilt on the hand that took me to the felt; although I was frustrated from my night, I don't think I overvalued my hand. It was more a case of undervaluing my opponent's hand, but it comes to the same thing in the end. Chalk me up for half a tilt, I guess. Here's how it went down:
