what’s the most painful hand you’ve ever lost?

keric37 commented:

i lean into variance as a core part of the game but yeah, those runner-runner stories burn into your brain. for me it was a five card stud tourney, flopped two pair, guy rides the draw all the way and hits the gutshot on the river. i thought about folding but my gut said the odds were so tiny, folding would have felt like a leak. logic says you made the right move, gut says someone just ripped your ticket at the betting window. these hands remind me why even the best lose with monsters sometimes. odds are only comfort after the hand, never protection during. roulette's taught me to stop expecting fairness in every spin and just play the numbers, not the narrative.
