Two meats, one veg

On Friday night, I had a two meats, one veg session. When you're playing sit and go no limit hold'em, the more meats in your diet, the better :-) However, my most memorable hand of the night was neither a sit and go hand nor a no limit hold'em hand. Instead, it was an MTT 8-game hand of the deuce variety. As you may have guessed, it was memorable due to the fact that I came out on the losing end, in an especially painful fashion. In deuce, there are many different ways to lose a hand. The most brutal way to lose is when you have a very fine low, but your opponent has a low which is infinitesimally better. That's what happened to me. My low was an 8 7 5 4 3, and the winning hand was an 8 7 5 4 2. I'm sure such nearly identical deuce hands at showdown can happen no more than one time in a hundred.
