Some of the best hands in poker are the ones you don't play. I think you had the courage to lay this one down and move forward with the hope and expectation that if you were good enough for this career opportunity to present itself, another shouldn't be far behind.

Well played. Just keep up the good work and it will come out roses for you in the end.
