“It Could Be Worse, It Could Be Better, But In Fact It Just Is What It Is”

These words were spoken by Phil Laak following a hand he just played. A player in middle position limped and Laak raised on the button. Chris Tryba joined from the small blind as the player in middle position called. On the 
flop, it was checked to Laak who led out. Both players called and the 
got checked around. This was the case on the 
as well and the player in middle position flipped up 
for top pair. Laak and Tryba mucked and both were down to below the starting stack in the early going.
