Last night I threw away a massive stack...or at least had it ripped away from me.
For me I wouldn't play a single hand differently...it was just a run of bad luck at the wrong time.
It was a hell of a game though.
This was the hand that set me up...total table dominance...should have been a stroll in the park from here:
