Premature celebration

Sometimes it's hard not to feel that the vagaries of chance are actually not vagaries at all, but evidence of higher powers who are deliberately having fun at your expense. In other words, the poker gods, toying with you and laughing their asses off. That's exactly how I felt last night, at the moment I hit the rail. I was short-stacked, was dealt A6o (ace six offsuit), and shoved. I paired my ace on the flop, and my six on the turn. I was so sure I was going to win the pot I raised both arms above my head in celebration. That was foolish, and premature. My opponent turned over rockets, and I was gone in a New York minute. Luckily for me, I'd already made the money :-)
