And evidently he also parted the Red Sea!

You saw my brother recently though, right? Weren't you at my parents' place saying goodbye to Pilot for the last time?

LOLOL.... I totally forgot about the God/Jesus/Moses thing! I gotta send this thread to him.... Barasso.. lol.Louis

Yeah, I know, I was just messing around.BTW - After that ridiculous loss to the Habs I'm jumping off the bandwagon already. I don't think I've ever seen the Leafs win a game in overtime or in a shootout. Geez...Louis

Oh, I'm sure I could write a 900-page book called "Serge's Embarrassing Moments"... but I'll respect his privacy and refrain! ;)Okay, I'll tell you one embarrassing thing... Did you know he has a non-sexual crush on Rick Vaive??!! Lol...LouisPS - He'll respond by telling you I had one on Wendel Clark, which I freely admit

That is so funny that they're having trouble believing it. I wouldn't believe it either I suppose.I was actually thinking about it a little more, and was wondering if it was 6 or 7 in a row, and not 8. I guess, anything more than 2 is ridiculous anyhow! Serge, you remember me talking about it right? Do you remember how many it was? I was trying to recall all the hands, but I couldn't remember them all.It was definitely at least one pocket 10s losing to a pocket 3s. Two other times it was Kings. One Bob mentioned, the other was when I bet the river card blind, and the guy with the smaller set C

Odds, shmodds. It happened. And it was consecutive. During that time period, I don't think I had a single set-over-set hold up. It was truly a nightmare.Don't forget that you're calculating odds based on long-run probabilities. The fact is, the cards were not aware that I had lost 7 consecutive flopped top sets. The "long run" probabilities work out overall, but not for specific individuals in the short term.Louis

Oh, I just couldn't resist registering on the forum so I can respond to the above allegations! :)Yes, it's true, I was an emotional wreck at the poker table, and had no business playing the game. And yes, as Serge pointed out, I did in fact make money playing, but eventually that slowed down quite a bit after many players improved their game and I didn't.Regarding this bad beat described by Bob -- believe it or not, that happened to me 8 times over a span of 2 months. No exaggeration. On eight (yes, 8) separate occasions I flopped TOP SET while someone else at the table flopped a smaller set.
