I risked most of the money I had scraped together through Freerolls on a heads-up sit-and-go. Both of us put in 25¢ each, and the 50¢ goes to the winner.
I was playing against a guy called Jolep. He was from Russia, and I hoped he loved Mint Julep's as much as I did. Me and him could connect over that, talk about Julep's vs Mojito's, and it'd be a fun game.And then it wasn't. And then i[...] Read more » Blocking the Hail Mary

Either you missed a bit of your luck at the cards you were getting against him or you were playing more scared than you should.

But sometimes things aren't on our side and the best thing to do is just close that table and find some other guy to play against with.
