Lets play up a little and enjoy a moment of triumph that we managed to survive another year and head towards 2010 with a least a glimmer that time has seen us not yet sold down the river.
A year of getting your pocket aces cracked and your full houses beaten by a better full house has come to an end, only to resume when you have sobered up. The only resolve worth a pinch of salt is to raise all pairs and fold all suited connectors – why, well why not? Once everyone has got used to your playing style do the complete reverse and clean up, it drives them nuts.
Good luck to all and may your flops always be the nuts and you are never splashed by the river…
