You were never shovelier

I've used this blog post title many times before, and will use it many times again. Why? For the simple reason that the circumstances which call for using it will never stop recurring. A "you were never shovelier" scenario has the following characteristics:

- I'm short stacked
- the money bubble is near
- I've been dealt a pair

On Thursday night, on my final hand, I was dealt a pair of sevens, went all in preflop, and got one caller. He turned over a pair of queens, and that was all she wrote.
