Poker Stories with Winning Lessons
Poker Stories with Winning Lessons Extraordinary Poker Players: Playing Poker with an Angel. You’ve lost $350 playing Texas Hold’em for 8 hours in a Reno casino. It’s 4 o’clock in the morning and you’re exhausted but continue to play. You’d promised to be home by 1 o’clock but an unexpected snowstorm hit and all the roads around the casino are closed. Everyone in the casino is snow bound. Professional poker players, having no where to go and time on their hands, are playing in your small game ($2 and $4 bets). All of the professional Hold’em players have been having their way with you. When you’ve been calling, they spread the “nuts” (an unbeatable hand). When you’ve been folding, they show down a missed hand (a bluff). You have $50 left. You’re tired. You feel defeated and abused. You feel like a turkey brought to thanksgiving dinner surrounded by industrious Pilgrims.
