Lucking out is only letters removed from sucking out ...
Hot on the heels of a post about a good hand holding up is a post about a good hand getting cracked. I was starting to get a little short-stacked and made a bet at a pot. Little did I know that there would be three callers - two of whom I could have survived. The one I couldn't have survived turned over pocket rockets to my q-5 suited. See what happened next ...

Things that make you go hmmm ...
This was a WSOP qualifier with a 40 FPP buy-in, so people were playing a little looser than I hope they normally would, as the log below shows. This hand knocked two people out and decimated a third chip stack. Sometimes, good hands hold up. Let's pause for a moment and celebrate that.
