Unbenign nines

Friends and neighbors, another streak has come to an end. After 37 straight nights of playing poker, I missed a night last night. That ties my record for the longest such streak. Believe it or not, I already feel like I haven't played in a while, and am really looking forward to playing tonight!

I entered two tournaments on Tuesday night. In the first one, I was playing well, but hitched my wagon to a pair of nines on hand 40. I went all in with them preflop; my opponent turned over a big slick, paired his ace on the flop, and that was all she wrote. I made the money in the second tournament.
