A sorry tale put into verse

Subject: A sorry tale put into verse Mon Dec 20, 2010 1:32 pm

Oh this is a tale of my sorrow
A pitiful story of woe
I'll be laughing about it tomorrow
You will laugh as you read it I know

I was playing a cash game on Action
I was doing quite well as it goes
A table of canadian donkeys
I'm sure we've all had one of those

I'd been playing for a couple of hours
I was up about forty six bucks
I was winning with skill and sheer power
Not to mention a fair slice of luck

When I looked at my hole cards I wondered
an ace and a 10, different suits
So many times with that, I've blundered
But they looked good and I thought YOU BEAUTS..

I raised from a middle position
The button he called in a flash
The pot looked a nice proposition
As two more then added their cash

The flop was like mana from heaven
A King, a queen and a jack
A player calling himself Lcukyseven
whammed his chips in, he didnt hold back

Every damn chip he unloaded
Then the next player threw his in too
YOU DONKEYS I almost exploded
I HAVE GOT YOU ( if only I knew )

WIthout waiting an instant I hit the all in
In went the whole of my stack
One he turned over a King and a queen
And the other, he had pocket jacks

The pot all three hundred dollars
was surely now coming my way
Avoid any Jack, a queen or a king
And I would retire for the day

The turn it came over a rag card
No flush draws so still I was fine
Just please avoid any picure card
And all of that pot would be miine

The wait for the river took ages
I was yellng, my language obscene
No KING NO QUEEN AND NO FRIGGING JACK
And guess what turned up.... YES A QUEEN..

For all of ten seconds I had it
My hands on a three hundred buck pot
All that I'd built up the previous three hours
And one card just fucked up the lot

That is the game we call holdem
You can win, you can lose just as quick
But the poker gods, yeah well I've told em
You can f**K off and go suck my.................

This would be a WHOLE lot funnier if it hadn't been my ENTIRE day yesterday! lol!

Despite the fact that I was down 4 bucks (a feat when your whole BR is 11$ - Embarassed

) SOMEHOW I managed to pull myself away and STOP the insanity!

I must say... I laugh at people when they get upset over losing and scream ONLINE CONSPIRACY, as if this crap never happens in real life...

BUT, I am still not to the laughing portion QUITE YET! I am still stuck on the DAYAM I am feelin ur pain man! Mad

*sighs heavily* and THAT is why its FRs for me for now.. Laughing

I can't believe that I've never seen this one, I can't think what I was doing in late December that I would have missed this!

Next you'll be telling us, you can't believe it's not butter.

Perhaps in late December wifey kept you away with chores preparing for babies first christmas.

Good thought but it wasn't that.
One baby wasn't born and the other was looking forward to 2nd Christmas!
I suppose I may have been drinking heavily Very Happy
