Cowboys into the sunset

For what I believe is the first time ever, I'm using the same title for two blog posts in a row. The reason is simple - it fits both sessions perfectly. Once again, I hit the rail when my pocket kings were cracked. This time, I was up against two opponents; one had pocket queens and the other had ace king offsuit. Before the flop, I was a 55.77% favorite, the queens were an 18.97% dog, and the offsuit was a 24.64% dog. As fate would have it, the queens hit a set on the flop, and it held up. That result pushed my blue distance to a new personal worst of $6,418,000. The only positive I can come up with is that my 2018 balance is still in the black, although it won't be for much longer if I can't break out of this slump. I'm not worried, though. Peeved, sure, but not worried :-)
