I have climbed the mountain

When Sir Edmund Hillary reached the summit of Mt. Everest, he closed the books on the record for the highest altitude a mountain climber could achieve. The only thing anyone could ever do from then on was tie.

And thus it is with me today. I have climbed the mountain.

There is no worse beat possible in Hold'Em. You cannot be in a worse situation than having exactly two cards in the deck that save you - and needing them both to come out on the turn and river (obviously not counting drawing dead).

My luck being what it is, I am, of course, on the losing end. So yet another achievement for my badge list, to go along with losing with a straight flush and catching under-quads.
