I think I just played the worst 2 hours of poker of my entire night. I knew my opponent had me beat, but I called him down anyways. I refused to believe that someone just happened to flop the nut straight. I chased and chased. It was ugly. At least the 90 or so hands I played have worked off some of my new bonus at Empire, so it offsets the pain somewhat. But only somewhat.
Oh well, off to my ultimate game. Hopefully I will fare better there.
