THE BIG HURT

I was in a $10 no limit tourney, and wasn't getting much in the way of cards, but I ran some successful bluffs, and stole some blinds, so I was still in there, and before I knew it there were only four of us.

I finally got a good starter with pocket queens. I made a healthy bet, but short of going all in. The next guy went over the top all in, and I called. I was cheering the board, which was nothing but rags. Then he shows the KK and I slotted into the dreaded fourth place.
