I was up and down most of the night.  But as we were getting ready to call it a night I was only down a couple bucks.  They called last hand and I had pocket Jacks.  I raised the pot two bucks.  Someone else raised me, and I went all in.  The other two guys who were still in called.  Someone flipped over KJ off-suit and one guy flipped over pocket Aces.  I was behind.  The flop turned up a King.  It was down hill from there.  I ended up losing the rest of my money.  What luck to get a good hand only to lose to someone who got pocket Aces on his final hand.<\/p>\n<p>I went home and tried to get some sleep.  It was after two in the morning.  I was sleeping soundly when I hear dispatch give the patient update to one of the units going en route.  I quickly got up and went to the station.
