It was mine to lose and I did

The third season of the R&D Poker League is over and I finished second overall. I should be happy, but all I can think of is that I went into the final game with a 2 point lead, seriously duffed 2 hands, and finished 1 point away from a playoff for first. In both cases I should have gone all in.

Hays was unstoppable on the all-ins today and took out all but two players. When it was my turn I watched my forced in pocket 3s turn into a straight then lose to a flush. Things went a lot better when, as with season 2, I had to play a second heads up game with a tied player for final position.

The next season begins in September. I doubt this time we can count on Roger missing two games for double zeros.
