IG;WS twice

One of the nice things about having written a blog for over eight years is that there are a lot of posts to crib from :-) Here's an excerpt from what I had to say in my "IG;WS" post of January 13, 2015:

The title of this post is a snowclone instance. The snowclone template it uses is XX;YY. The canonical instance which uses this template is TL;DR. TL;DR is shorthand for "Too Long; Didn't Read". IG;WS is my shorthand for "In Good; Went South", which in turn is short for "I got my money in good, but the hand went south on me" :-)

Last night, I hit the rail in both tournaments I played on IG;WS hands. In the first one, I was an 88.64% favorite to win the pot; in the second, I was a 65.91% favorite. Luckily for me, I finished deep enough in the first tournament to come out with a nice profit on the night.
