Moneymaker Tilting

Chris Moneymaker is talking to himself after two recent hands. There's no other way to put it -- he's on bajungi tilt.

The first hand developed quietly enough. Moneymaker bet 1,700 on a flop of {K-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds} and was check-called by one opponent. Both players checked the {9-Hearts} turn. When the river fell {6-Hearts}, Moneymaker's opponent checked again, inducing a bet of 2,500 from Moneymaker. His opponent quickly called. Moneymaker turned over a pair of sevens, {7-Clubs} {4-Clubs}. He lost to {A-Spades} {Q-Spades} and immediately began mumbling into his beard.

The very next hand, Moneymaker was one of three players to call a preflop raise, and the only player to call after the preflop raiser followed up with a bet of 1,500 on a flop of {8-Hearts} {8-Spades} {8-Diamonds}. Both players checked the {K-Diamonds} turn. When the {A-Spades} hit the river, Moneymaker's opponent bet out 3,000.

"Man, do I play good," muttered an obviously frustrated Moneymaker. He repeated that sentence two more times before slamming his cards into the muck. "Good hand," he told his opponent.
