No luck at the poker table, eh?
Actually, quite the opposite. I had a rather good night of poker not long ago, finishing second in a reasonably-okay-stakes tournament. The reason I came in second and not first was a pair of pocket Kings. They're jerks.
But isn't that the second best starting hand in Texas Hold'em?
Statistically, yes. In Jeremy's World, it means sudden, instant, and even immediate death. Since it is such a statistically strong hand, I usually end up playing it, and by the end of the hand, it looks like complete crap when compared to the hand that just beat me. In this past case, I ended up losing to a small flush with a pair of Kings. It's not the first time this sort of thing has happened to me which is why I'm firmly resolving to fold any pocket Kings from now on.
Good idea. When's your next game? I want to play now.
