Well, I guess it could be worse.  I could have been in this hand…

Jury duty sucked, and it isn’t over.  I waited around all day Monday after being assigned to a jury pool early.  At 4:30, I was told the entire jury pool had to be back Wednesday, and I have to be there an hour earlier than the others to be questioned.  If I’m chosen, the trial should be three days.  I’m not sure if it would start tomorrow afternoon or if it would be Thursday/Friday/Monday.  I unfortunately look like a good candidate.  I was chosen the other time I went to jury duty, but they settled after the jury was chosen.

I thought I had a chance at gaining some late ground to get to $4k for the month until this hand.   I knew this was a possible hand for the villain but didn’t want to believe him.
