We often comment on how "lucky" or "unlucky" a player might be. Usually when we refer to unlucky, we are talking about ourselves. Can't catch 14 outs with two cards to come? Unlucky. People always catching their two outers against you? Unlucky.
Some folks seem to have that golden horseshoe wedged securely where the sun don't shine. Ramon is one of those. Example: playing yesterday the dealer accidently hits his hand with a card, causing it to flip over. Which card? Why the ace of clubs, sir! Has Ramon's luck turned against him? Au contraire, monsieur. The replacement card happens to be a 10 which nicely matches the 10 already in his hand. Well, if you are Mr. or Ms. average luck like us, the story stops there. The flop is ugly, two or more overcards, you lose a big pot. But, if you are Ramon and have lady luck on your side you flop a set, like he did. Now, Mr. unlucky, you might think it stops there, but noooooooo. The river is another 10 giving him quads and a $100 bonus. Now that's lucky.

Ramon is definitely the king of golden horsehoes. I have lost track of the times he has gotten the better of me on the river. I can never seem to beat him at any time. If I win a hand against him once in 3 hours I'm happy.
