There's a danger I used up all of my run-good yesterday!
I was driving home from a light grocery shop when I missed getting T-boned at a crossroads by no more than a yard and a half. This is the third time this year I've been ridiculously close to a massive car crash. This time the car was traveling more slowly than the previous times, but it was coming from the right, so I'd have felt the impact more (or less, depending on whether he/she hit the bullseye or not.) I went through the now familiar routine of slamming the brakes on, waiting for everything to start moving in slow motion, resigning myself to the worst possible outcome, and then ultimately fading tragedy. The funny thing is that I've just freerolled life here, I could be dead or seriously hurt, and the first thing I want to do is curse: "you've just been gifted a second opportunity, Sean. You feel more alive now than you ever have, is there anything you want to say or do in recognition of this?" Oh wow, you're right; yes, as a matter of fact. More than anything I really want to yell, "you prick" to somebody who is now 100 yards away. Nailed it.
Now were this not enough, I also held in the most ridiculous cooler of all time. I've been getting 2-outed all over the show recently, so imagine my horror when I had to fade 11 cards! Here's how it went down:
£1/2/4 at Dusk, we're in the £4 straddle with
Russian makes it £12 from MP, two callers, blinds fold, I flick it in.
Flop (£51)
All check.
Turn (£51)
I bet £35, pre-flop raiser makes it £95, villain 2 tanks for ages and folds, before villain 3 raises to £200. Whatever I do looks massive here, but I'm getting called at least once so I move in. Villain 1 calls all-in for £350~ and villain 3 tanks before sighing and calling all-in for a total of £500~
Villain 1 tables the
, and villain 3 turns over
. The other player in the pot apparently folded a flopped straight!
River (£1400~)
Faded. Ridiculous hand. Comma day. Didn't die.
