Have I ever mentioned how much I hate razz?

I mean, I wasn't really expecting to complete the wheel, when three of the treys in the deck were showing, but would it have killed the poker gods to send, oh, say, an 8 or a 9 my way?

It doesn't rise quite to the level of outright moral wrongness as this, but still....


Full, sad hand history follows for the morbidly curious. The only comfort it gives me is that I bet or raised at every opportunity when I had the best hand, and as soon as I no longer had the best hand, I called one bet (because I still had the best draw) and the last round was checked. Not a helluva lot more I can do than that.
