The Duality Of Poker
08 March 2009 - 01:05 .
I've played in two different poker tournaments today, both at the same property.The first one was bigger, with 42 players. I got knocked out in 19th place. And at that, it was mostly because I was playing marginal hands, since I had to go see a show. I could have played more strictly, and likely lasted much longer. At one point I was chip leader on my table.
The second one had me blown out in the first round, by 3 of a kind over my two pair. I feel like I've been violated; bent over a barrel and taken advantage of, almost.
The luck of the cards can be a real bitch.
