Another personal worst

As I've mentioned before, I'm almost as jazzed about setting personal worsts as I am about setting personal bests; I'm quirky that way :-) I think the reason is that in each case, the poker gods are singling me out in some way, which is much better than being ignored. This reminds me of quotations from two movies:

Norrington: No additional shot nor powder, a compass that doesn't point north,
[looks at Jack's sword]
Norrington: And I half expected it to be made of wood. You are without doubt the worst pirate I've ever heard of.
Jack Sparrow: But you have heard of me. 

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)

Alex Forrest: [to Dan] Well, what am I supposed to do? You won't answer my calls, you change your number. I mean, I'm not gonna be ignored, Dan! 

Fatal Attraction (1987)

With last night's losses, I had the worst 6 session stretch of MTT NLHE in my career. I lost $422,200 in that stretch. Had I not switched flavors in the final tournament of the session, it might have been nearly half a million. I may be the worst poker player the poker gods have ever heard of, but they have heard of me :-)
