7 October 2026 Three coolers and the winner I folded An overnight session at Choctaw Durant with three coolers in it. The coolers were bad luck. The river fold that came after one of them was me.
1 October 2026 The loss is complete A stop loss does not change the odds of a single hand, and it is still the best decision I make all night. Why it works, how I pick the number, and how to make standing up feel like finishing rather than giving up.
1 October 2026 I fought the law and the law won After the best night I had had in months, I went back the next day to play my normal game and leave my average alone. The average had other plans, and it did not need a bad day to carry them out.
25 September 2026 I won the hand. I still tagged it misplayed. Ace-six against ace-king on an ace-ace-eight board, with a short stack, a $25 bet min-raised to $50, and a six on the river. I tagged it misplayed? because I had won it. Counting it answered the question, and not the way I expected.
16 September 2026 Seven diamonds left, and one of them beat me I called an all-in with the ace-high flush and lost to a straight flush, nine to king. Seven diamonds could have completed my flush. Six of them win the pot. I caught the seventh.
10 September 2026 She told me she had queens She made it $12 with pocket queens, under-bet a flop that had already beaten her, chased a third queen to the river and folded. The only evidence she had queens is that she said so.
9 September 2026 The $2 mistake that cost me $400 I limped the button with 7♠8♠ at $1/$2 instead of raising, flopped two pair, and lost to a bigger one. What the two dollars actually bought was four more opponents.
3 September 2026 The fold that would have won everything I folded ace-high with a backdoor flush draw into a dry side pot. Runner-runner spades. The right fold, the worst reveal, and the reason I did not tilt.
1 September 2026 I flopped a straight flush in a bomb pot. He had a boat. A double-board bomb pot in a Texas $1/$2 game: 2♦4♦ flopped a six-high straight flush, J6 rivered sixes full of jacks, and the simulation put it at 1 in 34,700.
