Title: Apparently, I am not very good at shuffling.

Or Goko isn't, on my behalf.

T1: Dame Chapel is the top knight, there is no other trashing, and I have $5 - hooray! Except my opponent also has $5 and buys her first. I take a Bandit Camp, deciding that Dame Josephine is not a very good opening buy.
T2: $2, I do nothing.
T3: $2 again... so I am guaranteed $5 again next turn, at least? Oh, my opponent plays Dame Chapel, turning over two of my Coppers (well, at least I didn't lose my Bandit Camp)
T4: I have $3, a Bandit Camp and a reshuffled Estate. I play the Bandit Camp and draw... another Estate. Buy Silver.

It's not the worst shuffling possible, of course, I didn't lost my Bandit Camp until turn 8, after managing a turn 7 Province (it's a Tournament game), but I get three opportunities to play Tournament and it's blocked every time (and of course I don't have my Province), and I resigned on turn 13 when I have a choice of trashing either Tournament or Gold.
