I guess that’s why it is called gambling ⇒

Friday I had my monthly poker game. 'Twas a smaller group than usual, just Doug, Dave, Dave, Dwayne, Adrian and me as I scheduled this with only a few days notice. The cards, they just did not fall properly. I lost many more hands than I won. On the last hand of the evening (morning), I actually had a decent hand, Qc-5c. The first round was pretty cheap and the flop came club, nothing, club. So I was only one card away from the nut flush and I made a decent sized bet. Dave P called and the turn card was a club!! Woo hoo!! I had the nut flush. Then Dave, the bastard, raised, so I re-raised him all in and he called. At this point there was probably $60 in the pot, which would have been enough to make me break even. I am about a 95% favourite to win the hand, as he only had 4 chances to win, either a jack or a ten to complete his two pair jacks and tens.

Then the ten comes on the river. Man....that really sucked.
