A dissenting opinion

In my blog, I often leave the impression that I run awfully as a general rule. This is largely the case. However, every so often, I go on a retarded rush. For example, here's a nine hand sequence from last night's 5/10 limit session. I bought in for $200, and had dwindled down to $99 at the start of this, most of it going in a hand where I turned the 2nd nut straight and rivered the 2nd nut flush - both not good.
