Futile half century

The most memorable feature of last night's session was the number of hands I had to play in the SNG 8-game I entered, only to come in last. The 51 hands were the second most I'd ever played in such a situation; I call them a futile half century. You know you've joined a talented table when it takes that long for anyone to hit the rail.

In other news, an opponent accused me of making a foolish call and then lucking out by hitting a flush on the river to beat his straight. What he failed to realize is that I'd made a better straight than his on the turn. I pointed out the error in his thinking :-)
