It's getting close to the money bubble in a poker tournament. You have been patiently waiting and here it is. POCKET A'S! The player before you moves ALLIN! You ship ALLIN and the cards are face up AA vs 88. Now the run out comes. Flop is safe. The turn is good. Now the only way you can lose is if one of the last two 8's happens to fall on the river. And the river is ......................8. Instant emotions flow over you. How can this be? After the turn, I was 96% to win. These are the painful swings of poker. If you can keep "getting it in good" over you're poker career then you will be a winning player. If you get upset and go on tilt then you will be a losing player. There's a very fine line between a winning player and a losing one. Poker can be exciting! Poker can be fun. Understand that poker will not always go the way you want and don't beat yourself up when a BADBEAT happens. Here is a fun hand. ROYAL FLUSH.[royal flush.jpg](
