A hell of a streak

Everyone knows it's silly to talk about a streak while it's still in progress, since you might jinx it. I've decided to be silly :-) Last night, I got under the lights again. That's 3 straight MTT NLHEs where I've achieved that, which is a new personal best. How sweet it would be to make it 4 straight tonight!

A hell of a streak

As predicted, boasting about my streak of sit and go no limit hold'em sessions with at least one first place finish put an abrupt end to it. However, that's not the streak I'm referring to in the title of this post. In last night's session, I finally had another last place finish. That put an end to a streak of 55 straight sit and gos without one. That's a hell of a streak! It obliterated my next best such streak, which was a mere 33.

How did I hit the felt on my last place finish? Let me check the archives ... ah yes. A painful hand. I'd been dealt a pair of jacks, the flop came 4h Td Kh, and the turn came Jh. I went all in, and got snap called. The same turn card that had given me a set had also given an opponent a straight. My only hope was for the board to pair on the river, but alas, it didn't.
