Played a tournament on Pokerstars yesterday, had a pretty good time. Till the cruelty smashed me in the face. I was playing a very solid game but was a little unlucky on catching my draws. But no problem, still had some 20 big blinds to play with.

But somebody was annoying me at the table for quite a long time already. He was raising my big blind all the time from the cut-off and I didn’t really find a hand to make a stand with. So when I got the AJ on the big blind, I was waiting for my friend to raise:

I got him exactly where I wanted him to be: as a 27% dog with all my chips in the middle. Then the guy hits the three outer and I don’t fill up to a flush. Some cruelty…

I saw another good historical movie btw the other day: Thirteen Days. The movie is all about the Cuban missile crisis and although it’s featuring Kevin Costner, probably the worst actor I ever saw, it draws a very good image of what cruel things could have happened to our planet without some reasonable guys like Robert McNamara. If you’re interested in the Cold War era, this is definitely a movie for you. Especially the issue with the two letters Chroestjev sent to Kennedy is very well portraited in this movie.
