[Dodoubled]

Believe it or not, but you're only (and I use the word "only" sparingly) about a 3-1 favorite in that hand preflop. (73.63-25.31) Still good odds, and still a tough beat.

But the hand that busted me out yesterday was about as tough as I've seen. He pretty much had to catch perfect, and he did. I went all-in -- after the flop -- with bet-the-house odds, and I lost my hat, ass and overcoat.

Either he severely misread me or he just made a bad call. Either way, he got lucky ... and that's poker.
