I can't believe it.

Was having a great run in a tournament at UB. I was in top twenty much of the time. Play was in the money and I picked up the following hand:

"Hand #45446420-176 at Wed745pmBounty-003 (No Limit tournament Hold'em)
Started at 15/Aug/07 22:23:00

That is the fourth time in 2 days that KJ has taken me down after a pre-flop raise. I guess I should have put him all-in on the flop but I truly believe now that he would've called anyway. It is so frustrating and takes all of the pleasure out of a tournament that was played pretty well up until the last hand.
