O.K., so I am on a major "cooler", as opposed to a "heater". I can accept that fact. But what I cannot accept is that I am a certifiable imbecile. Playing in the Steve Stark tournament this afternoon I was on cruise control. Getting some decent cards, playing them pretty well, chipping up. Reaching the final table with a great chip stack, we got down to 5 players, 2 with short stacks, and two bigger stacks than mine. Then, this hand came up.
Under the gun, with blinds at 1,000/2000, I limp with K/10. The small blind completes, the big blind, the chip leader, checks. The flop is J//8/x, with 2 diamonds. It is checked to me, and I bet 2000. Small blind, 2nd chip leader calls. The turn is a 10, and for some unexplainable reason I believe that I now have a straight. When is is checked to me, I go all in. The opponent quickly calls after looking at the board for a minute.
She tables the Q/9 for the straight and I am looking for a queen on the river for the king high straight. Nope, I am gone in 5th place instead of cruising into the money (paid 3 places). Idiot!!!!

Oh, that's terrible! If it makes you feel any better, which I'm sure it won't - I once proudly turned over my handing thinking I had a straight & my cards didn't even have anything to do with whatever was on the board - I had it in my head that I had J-10 which is the hand I had been playing the hand before that!!! Now, that's stupid!
