1761

that's what the Bad-Beat-o-Meter put it at.

once again QQ goes down in flames. ok, my opponent did have aces. but he didn't flop the boat. sure he had a boat on the turn, but it was an under boat. he had three outs going into the river. 3. it's hands like these that question why one even plays poker. i mean, there's no way i could outplay him on this one. in retrospect i could have shoved all in on the flop, but even then there's not much chance he's going to lay down aces.

Final Pot: $98.48

93% favorite going into the river. there's not much more you can ask for. it would be tempting to believe the conspiracy rumors of rigged poker sites, but i'd just like to believe that karma owes me one. hopefully one day the tables will be turned; at a WSOP final table will be nice. until then i'll just have to grind away.
