   If God had only given me tear ducts. Warning lots of suckouts inclosed!

   I had made up my mind early in the day to play as close to perfect as i could. No recklessness.
   I was bringing my A game and would settle for nothing less.
   The night started with me in the worst spot on the table, Rick's right. Rick generally raises alot preflop which puts that seat into some heat.
   I play the table like a fiddle. Before my Dramatic downfall I had only missplayed one hand, and i lost very few chips on it.
   I caught AA preflop and limped, ended up losing a small pot to trip 3's. figured i was beat so i paid it off.

   After a night of monster laydowns and farmer status milking. I look down and i am in second place for chip lead.
   Rick S. has 31% of the chips in play.
   Brian has 28%.
   Brent has 23%
   Rick W. has 12%
   James has 6%

   I look down at 45 offsuit in the big blind. It goes unraised and i allow a flop.
   2 3 6 rainbow. Yes i flopped the nutz.
   James, whom is first to act checks.
   I make a small bet.
   Everyone folds to james. he calls.
   Turn comes a 2, so now the board is 2 3 6 2, i no longer have the nutz, i am beat by a full boat or a 4 of a kind.
   James goes all in.
   i weigh the hand in my mind and decide he has no boat. I call.
   James has 2 4.
   At this point there is a 2, three 3's, two 4's, and three 6's to beat me. With three 5's for a split.
   He has 9 outs to take my money. 1 card to go. 18% chance.
   River is a 3. He now has 12% of the chips in play and im down to 22%.

   3 hands later I catch QQ preflop.
   I raise. Everyone folds to the BB.
   James Calls.
   Flop comes 3 6 8.
   James bets 1/5 his stack.
   i go all-in.
   he calls.
   He has J 8. The Flop is 3 6 8. He now has 3 J's or 2 8's to beat me. 5 outs. 2 cards coming. 20% chance to win.
   8 falls on the river.
   James now has 22% of the chips in play and i have 10%.

   Shortly after i catch KK preflop.
   I waste no time. ALL-IN.
   James calls me with A 4 of clubs.
   Hits the 7 high str8 flush.

   Perfection. Mutilation. Devastation.
