The poker gods were in an aqueous humor again last night, but I was the butt of their jokes this time. I started off the session with two quick 0th places. In the first tournament I entered, I hit the rail on a hand where I was dealt AQo (ace queen offsuit) and made two pair (aces and queens) on the river, but lost to an opponent who'd flopped a diamond flush. In the second tournament, I hit the rail with the same holding, this time making the two pair on the flop, but losing to an opponent who rivered a straight. I played a third tournament and did much better, earning an official place, but still failed to make the money. How to lose nearly a million in four easy lessons :-)
