I haven't had the nut flush in weeks

I wrote a few weeks agoabout all my great luck in bar poker, and my luck dried up.

I wrote about getting a better feel on reading players, then my reads went down the tubes.

So, in keeping with the write-and-the-opposite-happens, here goes:

I haven't had a nut flush in weeks, at least the last eight times I've sat down to play.

You know, holding an ace-x suited, and have a couple of more suited on the flop, then hit it on the turn or even the river. I've been so dry, I haven't even thrown one away because the math made a big call unwise. And, getting greedy here, I haven't had a nut flush especially with no pair on the board.

Are you listening, poker gods?
