Phantom bubble

As I've had occasion to mention before, memory is a funny thing. Things you could swear happened to you at the poker table must survive the cold hard light of truth - in other words, the hand histories. Last night, after playing my final tournament of the night, I was convinced I'd just been the bubble boy, missing the money by a single place. I thought I'd had to make a really tough decision on my last hand - whether to call all in for a small amount, or fold. Clearly, I called; if I'd folded, it wouldn't have been my last hand :-) Instead of being a single place out of the money, I was actually eleven places out. Miles away.
