poker bluff
The art of confusion is sometimes lost on people. We make an attempted bluff to throw someone of the scent and end up getting caught in a trap of our own design. The very true saying that you should never bluff a stupid person applies to poker as it does life.
Sooner or later the thicko you’ve been slapping around like a bitch, manages to win a hand of you, which gives them the confidence, and, they end up sending you to the rails with the other losers.
I have nothing against someone getting lucky it is when that someone is the person you’ve been bullying around all night and they then get a run of luck which takes all your chips of you that I find annoying.
Yes this is a semi-confessional post which I am prone to do when a giant suck out manages to sink my brilliant poker play. The suck out by a guy who looked like he needed a good bath and went by the nickname of ‘Mushroom’! He is probably called Mushroom because he lives in the dark and has a load of manure chucked all over him. Or, it could be something to do with his personal hygiene. Either way it was a very apt name to his play and personality. Do I sound like a snob? Yes!
Maybe I should have gone for a much tougher opposition, but, I went for the lesser of two evils because my losing run is getting sillier and sillier and I needed a win to gain back my mojo and confidence. However, this did not work and I got roughed up badly by a novice and needed help to sure up the finances to pay those nasty bills.
Am I annoyed, yes. Will I take liberties, never again!
