Unlucky Micky. Sounds like you lost out in three major hands - each of which you went in ahead. As they say, these things happen, and they"re a major test of character. Sounds like you handled yourself well.
Another day, and a little more luck on your side and you could have been up there with a mountain of chips in front of you.
Never mind mate, hope you and your good lady enjoy the rest of your stay.
Looking forward to seeing you in Blackpool.
