Six Degrees

It's six degrees right now in NYC. Nonsense.

Played some with my friends tonight. One of those nights where everyone else in the home game wins and you're the only loser. Boy oh boy was I missing draws! Came home and took a break for a few hours and then decided to play online. It's funny, I had a bad feeling that I would keep losing and within the first half hour, I was down $2000. Why does that shit happen? I guess there are an equal number of times I feel like I'm going to lose and I end up winning so I forget how I feel when I started. Ended up making almost all of it back, so it's all good.

Sometimes people play bad. And then there are plays like this, which I just can't explain for the life of me. Most of the donkey plays can be chalked up to naked aggression, but WHAT IS THIS?!:
