Never got that. Once you get a very good hand, are the chances not stacked worse against you now?
I'm not who you think I am.

The odds are always very much stacked against you. When you somehow get hot, (read: g-d sending some love) try to ride the streak. :D

A friend of mine had two rpu's that were expiring 1/31 so he decided to donate them to an organization that helps transport people in medical need. They had two ppl booked from ewr to sfo however there was no R space availability. He called the premier line and after explaining to the rep the situation and offering to send in medical papers the rep put him on hold. When she got back she said she will put them in business although there was no R availability!

On board EWR-HKG
Mentioned to the stewardess that we didn't get upgraded even though the flights empty so she saved each of us (3) a complete empty row.

They don't allow you to change seats before takeoff.. so she "reserved"the seats for us".
