So, I'm thinking about poker today. I've been playing on my phone this morning and it's funny how you can get to know the other players next moves. I wonder if the way a person plays poker is reflective of how they live there life. Never fails in every game, first hand, someone has to go all in. Sometimes someone else will challenge them and maybe win. But, most often, everyone else folds. Other players play conservative and only seem to raise on what they think is a sure deal. Still others bet on the hopes that the card they need will be the next one turned. I was at a table this morning where everyone just kept checking all around the table until all cards were down, then the betting began. The pot was $4,000, which I didn't win. Interesting that we all followed someone, I'm not even sure who started the betting. Is it like that in life? We all just sit around and wait for someone else to make the first move and then, as if almost by permission, we all decide to follow....not even sure exactly where we are going? My son will laugh at me when I play a certain hand that he would have folded on. I guess sometimes I'm more of a "the next card will be the one I need" type of player. I'll never forget at a real casino, when I went all in with pocket Aces and someone beat me with three 7's. Mind you it was only $40, but still. What I thought was a sure deal, actually wasn't. I'm going to think about this for a while...about how I play poker and how I live life. It'll be interesting to see what I discover.
Today is taste something spicy day.
