"Argh" doesn't do this justice. |

Hi everyone,
I've been checking out this forum for some time now and was compelled by this tragedy to start posting. These hands both happened in MTT on poker stars and within 24 hours of each other...both knocking me out of their respective tourneys. All i could do after the second straight hit was mutter the word "argh" and then roll into the fetal position.

Note that it wasn't so much that i lost with pocket aces, which happens almost as regularly as the sun rising, but that i made the set on the flop only to have my dreams of a winning hand made that much more palpable...only to have it crushed when the demon-lady (queen) hit.
