This it too painful to retype, so I’ll paste from my ranting IM with TJ this morning.  Some of the language has been edited to make me look less like a tard:
(8:01:27 AM) declansnwl: i’m fretting and fuming!
(8:01:36 AM) TJ Fiske: whats wrong
(8:01:37 AM) declansnwl: played in the TNT poker tournament last night
(8:01:44 AM) declansnwl: and got @#&*ED!!!
(8:01:57 AM) TJ Fiske: oh that one that john did
(8:02:04 AM) TJ Fiske: yeah i got booted pretty quick also last time
(8:02:08 AM) TJ Fiske: (last year)
(8:02:08 AM) declansnwl: yeah, he paged me later that he won!
(8:02:18 AM) declansnwl: ok, so there are a bunch of rounds
(8:02:20 AM) TJ Fiske: OMG really
(8:02:28 AM) declansnwl: and i get out in the first round
(8:02:36 AM) declansnwl: bad cards, waa, whatever
(8:03:07 AM) declansnwl: BUT, i stick around and play a losers lounge game because there’s a raffle for a seat at the finalists table
(8:03:33 AM) declansnwl: John hands me 10 tickets for that – some friend of his bought them for $2 each and didn’t want to stick around
(8:03:45 AM) declansnwl: and I won a spot at the table!!!
(8:04:22 AM) declansnwl: I’m pretty low stack – 1000 chips while others have nearly 3000
(8:04:34 AM) declansnwl: FIRST HAND – Pair of Jacks!!!!
(8:04:45 AM) declansnwl: hmm, not the strongest hand, but ok, i’ll call
(8:04:51 AM) declansnwl: many people call
(8:05:01 AM) declansnwl: comes the flop, 2 J 4
(8:05:05 AM) declansnwl: WHOA! 3 Jacks!
(8:05:12 AM) TJ Fiske: nice!
(8:05:20 AM) declansnwl: someone calls, I go all in
(8:05:40 AM) declansnwl: i gotta bring my stack up anyway, and I got the best possible hand
(8:05:45 AM) declansnwl: ANOTHER guy goes all in
(8:05:59 AM) declansnwl: i’m like WTF! I’ve got the Jacks!
(8:06:10 AM) declansnwl: we flip cards, he’s got pocket 2s!  (One a Club)
(8:06:24 AM) declansnwl: my 3 Jacks KILL him, right?
(8:06:30 AM) TJ Fiske: exactly
(8:06:30 AM) declansnwl: right? right?
(8:06:37 AM) declansnwl: FOUR
(8:06:39 AM) declansnwl: RUNNING
(8:06:44 AM) declansnwl: CLUBS
(8:06:51 AM) declansnwl: FLUSH, I’m out
(8:06:56 AM) TJ Fiske: F-me
(8:07:02 AM) declansnwl: i did the odds
(8:07:04 AM) TJ Fiske: absolute bull@#%*
(8:07:18 AM) declansnwl: i had him 99.85%
(8:07:28 AM) TJ Fiske: that guy doesn’t know that he just won the lottery on that one
(8:07:42 AM) declansnwl: i’m still reeling
(8:07:43 AM) declansnwl: 😉
(8:07:46 AM) declansnwl: ha

(8:08:24 AM) TJ Fiske: can’t be pissed
(8:08:29 AM) declansnwl: gotta blog this…  too painful…
(8:08:30 AM) declansnwl: 😉
(8:08:35 AM) TJ Fiske: its just a lucky draw, ur skills were dead on
(8:08:47 AM) declansnwl: well, what if i’d’ve slow played it?
(8:08:49 AM) TJ Fiske: and yes, you need to blog this
(8:08:53 AM) declansnwl: he might not have gone all in
(8:09:02 AM) TJ Fiske: yeah u did right
(8:09:09 AM) TJ Fiske: he went all in on a pair of 2’s!!!!
(8:09:19 AM) TJ Fiske: that’s dumb #@*% playing, and he got rewarded for it
(8:09:23 AM) TJ Fiske: u should be pissed
(8:09:27 AM) declansnwl: he had 3 with the flop
(8:09:41 AM) TJ Fiske: oh, still when u went all in first
