Ying and Yang

[DukeOfDeath]

Why not mix the good and the bad? Just suffered what I call a bad beat one off the bubble, but decided to sweeten it with a victory too.

Bad beat first:

I mean I realize he had an overcard and so I wasn't just a crushing favorite, but he knows he only has one over to any pair and any A I'm shoving has him beat too. So kinda sucks that he called off all his chips on that. Then comes the pretty sick flop and river knife in the back. Congrats though, can't do much else on my end.

On the other hand here's a good hand:
