I can spend the rest of this column chasing my tail in this argument with myself. Whoever wins a WSOP bracelet has to be admired. You can call them whatever you like.

I used to love playing low limit games on the Strip, but haven’t played regularly over the years. I learned a little about other people and myself while playing poker. Some lessons contain false lessons, but they are lessons learned visit lapak303.

One of my teachers was an unfortunate person named Dennis. We used to call him “Big Den.” He taught me that you usually lose the way you win and win the way you lose. It is undeniable that poker applies to life in general. He and the others would examine various hands and refer to the drama in “the book.” But, I never know where to buy the “book” he’s talking about or even if it actually exists.

Big Den often borrows $ 40 here and there to get shares to play with. He always pays you at some point. I learned it would be better not to get the money back and to write off as charity. That way he can’t keep pestering you for the same $ 40 over and over.

There are other occasional players who call themselves “Big Al.” I’m not sure why some players like to be called “Big.” Big Al isn’t that big, but he always reminds the players after the river cards send them to lose, that poker is a “game of bad beats.”

When the locals traveled to the Strip to play years ago it was because the tourists who lived there were poor players and much easier to beat. The locals will always engage them in friendly conversation in preparation to take all their money. The tourists usually only spend their time rather than trying to collect cash. In spending their time, they often hang around on the hands longer than they should. I learned to try to judge other players’ reasons for being there. It always gives me the edge.
