No Game

Weird, something just dawned on me. Been reading it forever. First by the great Caro, then many others. Be a good table mate and it will pay in the long run. In my failure to look at the big picture, I’ve put too much energy on the getting the prize now. My style is to get the most valve out of every pot as possible. Reasonable, right? Well, not if it pisses everyone off. 

I’ve had ADD way before it was popular. I remember it as, “Stop that! I said Stop That!! What the hell is wrong with you?!). I remember knowing being hyper really bugged my parents and not being able to concentrate in school killed them. They were so proud when I graduated high school. You would have thought that they just witness a miracle. But not my problem, can’t help it, get over it. 

Anyway, I told you all that to tell you this. A lot of crap goes through my head and one of them is poker. So I don’t live and breathe it, but a hand I played just went through my mind. I turned a straight flush, I know I just scored the bonus, but more importantly, how can I still get the most valve out of this pot! Well, maybe, just maybe, if I just check or call, they won’t think of me as a total dick. I might be a little naïve when I said I’m not well liked at my favorite casino. I might be protecting my feelings a little, but I think it’s possible they hate my ass. My conversations are all with the dealers and tourists. I see the same players every time and no one says jack to me. I play too hard for them and they don’t like it. So, if I take it easy, maybe it will pay off in the long run? Hmmm, Nah! So far they may hate me, but no one has any game to do anything about it.
