yas

This is the second time I've used this blog post title; the first was on June 21st of last year. Here's an excerpt of what I had to say:

Last night, I suffered yas - yet another slickout - in the first tournament I entered. I just ran the numbers on my hole cards on the final hand of every MTT-R NLHE I've ever played, and wasn't surprised to see that the holding with the biggest freq factor is none other than AKs (aka ace king suited (aka a slickout)). AKo (ace king offsuit, also a slickout) clocks in at number 6.

Almost everything applies equally well to last night's session; the only difference is that AKo now clocks in at number 4. I made life rough on myself by joining the first tournament too late. I'll try to avoid that tonight.
