    Losing 13K to win a hand against anyone who folded before the flop isn't worth the story. I'm guessing there is some "yellow fever" going on here and simping to say you had the "honor" of playing and lose isn't something you (or any man) should be striving for especially since she didn't have anything to do with you. Losing and winning (the swings) are normal but the way you make Maria Ho out isn't.
