The Art of Positive Thinking

Paint it Black
Paint it Black
"Come on, don't do it to me," pleaded an animated Andy Black as he turned over {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} to Thomas Bentham's {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}.

The flop came a harmless {8-Spades}{J-Spades}{3-Diamonds}, and the Irishman was looking good for a double through.

"That's a good start," he added.

"Just be positive, Andy, and that shit won't happen to you," came the wise words of Sensei Matusow.

Heeding the words of the Mouth, Black began chanting to himself: "Think positive, think positive, think pos..."

Turn = {A-Diamonds}

"Aaaaaah shit."

Matusow remained silent.

As a {4-Diamonds} river hit the felt, Black rose from his seat, wished his opponents good luck and exited stage left. As I write, he's most likely setting fire to Matusow's entire collection of 'positive thinking' literature and mumbling, "I should have stayed negative."
