Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in all of us. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others...

Not bad, another heads up loss though, quite worrying. I feel I outplayed the guy heads up for the most part, he was a complete calling station. I was pounding him pretty good to begin with but he rivered me in a hand to take a decent chip lead and then slow played JJ when i hit top pair and got a 2:1 chip lead, I was going downhill and doubled with AA and hit a bit of a rush, was on the comeback until the final hand. He limped the SB, i checked 8d5h in the BB, flop came 2d4d5d giving me top pair and a flush draw. I check raised all in, perhaps far too aggressive as it was a massive overbet and unfortunately he had flopped the J high flush, he also had the 6 of diamonds meaning I couldnt runner runner a straight flush. I was dead on the turn when the board didnt pair.

I just bad beated Tom McEvoy in the Sunday Million quite badly

Here is the hand

My justifcation for the move is that Im getting short on chips and feel I have a lot of fold equity here, McEvoy has raised a few times and folded all but once to a reraise and the caller in the middle of us is the main guy playing back at McEvoy so I reckon he's in to outplay McEvoy on the flop and isnt strong enough to call a shove. Brave call by McEvoy and I suck out beautifully on the turn. All his railbirds were like "Thats so bad"

For everyone thinking I wronged the world though theyll be happy to know I went out a few hands later when i shoved over the top of another raise with JJ, he has AA, AKK flop
