- I'm the poor guy in the UK who can't find a nice cheap poker game, I ask
- every 6 months or so and get no response.....
- ANYWAY!
- Last Thursday my old pal Ralph calls me up, some friends of his are coming
- over the hills to see him, and they play....count me in, quoth I
- So Saturday I check my soccer pools entry, and YES! I've won:a 3rd and a 4th
- dividend. Now given the fact there are 12 score draws and I do the cheapest
- pools company, it's only going to be about 10 quid, but it puts me on a high.
- So when I get to the game, I announce that I just can't lose because of this
- and (blow me down with a feather) I was RIGHT! A 200 unit buy-in gets me
- 120 units profit in 5 hours - OK the units were a bit too small to give up
- the day job, but it's percentages that count here!
- Texas Hold'Em ??? Too easy! I wasn't even playing well!
