Can't find Kosmonaut's original comment BTW, where he admitted to being a metric using socialist, while also saying that we can only have his Fahrenheits from his cold dead hand.
My opponents bid that they would make 6+3 (out of 13) tricks with clubs trump, while my partner and I have decent cards and I have four clubs: ace, queen, knave, 7.
Do you guys really like poker? I play it sometimes with friends, but I find the probability calculations to boring, and the rest of the game too lucky.
I suppose it can be fun if you get enough satisfaction out of the calculations and the bluffing?
Congrats, Martha. That means you would half-lift your hand as I walk by unseeing, then you move your hand through your hair pretending that was what you were planning to do with it anyway.
@Rob: Yeah I can understand that it can get interesting at a serious level. But as a real amateur, with drinks?
I know this guy who already owned an on-line porn empire at 19. His posh parents probably had no idea. He also made a lot of money in international poker competitions and whatnot. And he is actually a nice guy, though a bit odd.
The one reason I don't worry about him too much is that he has to win. A gambling addict would rather play and lose than not play. That's not my son. If he ain't winning, he ain't playing.
Only to the extent that it makes him money. He knows the odds in poker, and when he plays online he plays 6-8 tables at a time. At that point he becomes the house, because his variance goes way down.
