So yet again outdrawn. Was a 68% fave after the flop and ok there was 19% chance of a split pot, but he was just a 13% fave after the flop but hits one of his 2 outs on the turn. Man, how much do you have to raise pre-flop to get idiots with A rag out of the pot....1k, 2k, all in? Well my notes on him say 'plays any old shit in any position - fish', so I shouldn't be surprised!.

Ok he was in the sb but that's still no excuse. I guess there was no point raising on the flop as he was going nowhere now he had hit trips. And with no flush draw out there, I couldn't hope for a much better flop! I didn't put him on AK/AQ but if he did have that then so be it. There is no way I could lay down that hand and if I start laying down hands like that, then I may as well give up altogether! Hmmmm now there's an idea.....

When will my luck change?

Challenge bankroll is now $282.26
