All's fair in love and poker

I had no business making the money last night. Or did I? It's true that I went all in on a flush draw, and it hit on the river. Had I failed to hit the flush, I would have hit the rail instead. I'm sure I was an underdog, but not sure how big a dog I was. You could certainly make a case that I had no business making the money. I think you could also make the opposite case, though. The thing is, all's fair in love and poker. Long shots do come in. If you play long enough, they will. If you have the ability to play long enough, that proves your decision-making is right more often than it's wrong. I certainly don't chase every flush that comes along, so when I do chase one, and it hits, I'm not going to beat myself up :-)
