One day running like a normal person is all I get, obviously. I'm quite certain I've never had a stretch as brutal as what I experienced today in around an hour and a half. At least the Flames won decisively against Vancouver.

Here are some of the most hilarious HHs from within that span. Note that I have top set against bare gutshots 3 times and lose all 3, which of course is completely reasonable. I was also 1 outed twice within the time period, though the second time it was for a really small pot so I'll only post the significant one.

Villain is a mediocre reg. His failure to 3b the flop is awful. Guess he figured he'd chase his 1 out draw and fold any other turn. This is the first time I've set over set someone in ages too, foolish to think I could win without them drawing completely dead.
