Injustice of the high card!!!!!

Hey guys,

Ok so I am a strong believer in not letting the blinds get the better of you. And in this scenario I always feel it is better to go out in a blaze of glory rather than watching you wilt away like an old flower.

But with that comes the bad feelings of being knocked out in 3rd position of a 65 man £10.00 re buy, with a high card....................

All that work, almost 6 hours of intense poker play do be undone by an ace??? This begs the question. Is there a poker god??? Now some will argue that yes I was on the short stack and had to make a move so just before my big blind I received K Qdiamond. With about 10K in chips I decided this was the hand, the hand to make me or break me and out went the push. The big blind called the extra 8,500 and over they turn to reveal him with A 6 off suit.............................................. What was he thinking??? I read an article that said almost all new young poker players will push with just an ace where as the older push with the Ace Paint but A 6??? what a horrible call. So on the turn out pops the ace and off I walk with a lovely wad of cash.

So I cant complain to much but it it leaves me asking you guys. How often do you get beat by the high card??? To many times I reckon. Its like losing a golf tournament becuase you turned up with no clubs. Or losing a pool match becuase your old cue broke. Its a shame but heyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

"thats poker"

Cheers guys
