Ahhh, the classic PokerStars special 😅
Happens to the best of us. You get it in feeling like a genius, already counting the stack… and then boom — river peels the one card in the deck that ruins your day.
Last time I hit a true one-outer on the river was in a spot I probably didn’t even deserve to win. Completely bricked turn, mentally started stacking chips for villain, and then the river saved me. Felt amazing for about 5 seconds… followed by guilt and a quick “sorry in chat” 😅
That’s poker though — sometimes you’re the statue, sometimes you’re the pigeon. Variance always collects its tax, especially at 10NL on PokerStars.
Curious to hear others’ stories — when was your last filthy river miracle? 🃏
