Down But Not Quite Out
When asked if it had been "one of those days," Barny answered, "It's been one of those lifetimes."
"That's a bit depressing, isn't it?" I said.
"It's okay, I'm a Buddhist," he replied.
Just as I was about to leave the Hendon Mobber to wallow in his chasm of self-pity, Barny added, "Hold on, this could be the one," and duly raised it up in a game of Omaha-8. "I'm only raising because he's watching," Barny informed his opponents as the button, small blind, and big blind all called.
After calling bets of 150, 300, and 300 from the big blind on the board, Barny mucked his hand dejectedly upon being shown .
"Booooy, that's a strong hand," commented a player sarcastically. Meanwhile, Barny riffled through his remaining 400 (which didn't take too long), before later confessing to holding A-A-9-J with a suited ace.
