Ongoing Fun

My luck at poker continues in the same manner as at poker night. Over the last two days, I've missed the money for 7 SNGs in a row. For 4 of them, my opponent had QJ and was drawing. Of course, they hit everytime. Check out the HH below. I think that's my favourite of the recent beats.

EDIT TO ADD: Ok, so the final tally. Twelve in a row. So the last time I made money to when I finally made the money again, it took 12 tries. I think I'm quite sick of poker right now.
