A bucket of cold water

There I was, sitting in my comfortable Adirondack chair by the shores of Lake Poker. The weather was pleasantly warm, and there was a nice breeze coming off the lake. I was sipping a brewski, and all was right with the world. Suddenly, with no warning, I was doused by a large quantity of cold water. So much for my month by the lake!

That's a dramatization of what happened to me on hand 3 on Saturday night. I was dealt 7h Jh, and hit trip sevens on the turn; I went all in on the river. I started the hand with $39,600, and ended it with nothing. I lost to another trip sevens who had a better kicker (a king).

As you'll know, if you're familiar with my poker philosophy, I have no regrets about playing this hand the way I did. I'd play it this way every single time. Sometimes, you're just predestined to lose a hand; that's just how poker rolls.
