The omen

When I woke up this morning, I had to blow my nose. There was blood in it. I remember the same thing happened last year when I was out here. Must be the dry air. My poker turned out that way -- bloody.

Twice i had good hands and ran into hidden sets. Twice I had top pair, good kicker and was bet off my hand.

The final straw was being short-stacked and moving in with A-Q and being called by 10-7, both hearts. A 10 came on the flop, GG me.

I'm not claiming I played well, but it was brutal and $3000 in chips doesn't give you much wiggle room.

Thanks to all the well-wishers -- it means a lot.

    I've never enjoyed the thin & dry desert air either.

  9. 3000 in chips like you said doesn't leave much room for error. Hope you enjoy the rest of your time there.
