The cruelest uberflush

Uberflushes are to be expected in Omaha; that's one of the many reasons I don't play Omaha :-) In hold'em, however, uberflushes are much less likely, and consequently inflict much more anguish when they occur. The cruelest uberflush is when you've made a king high flush with king x suited, and end up losing to the ace high uberflush. That's what happened to me on hand 127 last night. Only the fact that I had the winner covered at the start of the hand saved me from hitting the felt. As it was, I hit the felt twice on the night. If I'd won the uberflush hand, my loss on the night would have been just over half what it actually was. My blue distance has now reached a new personal best (i.e., worst) of $1,764,007. In the immortal words of Cedric Maxwell, I'm going to "stop the bitch" before it reaches $2,000,000.
