Another cliche to help you through this dark period:

They say a piece of coal turns its blackest just before becoming a diamond.

Tough stuff Laurence…

Keep the faith. Make good decisions. The movie sounded like a good idea. Hope you return refreshed.
From up here in WA it seems to be good to be you, since were are mostly work-a-day types and you are living the life, albeit the dark side of the life.

Ugly, Uglier. And ugliest.

I think by now you must have either (a) gotten all the bad beats flushed out of the system, (b) finally appeased the Gods of Poker for some unremembered sin you committed way back when, or (c) have built up a nice reserve of Karmic Reserves to cash in during the Main Event.

Or all three.

Charge on, Good Friend, towards the glory that awaits you!

It’ll get better. And in just over a week, a bunch of us will be there to help switch the luck around.

That running-quads hand is nearly identical to the finale of the poker-x-factor “bad beat extravaganza” video. So, really, that is as bad as it can get.

Yes, it will get better…if it is not already.
