Poker Lesson
Well, I just got knocked out of the World Poker Tour "Shoot the Stars" Tournament at the Bay 101 Poker Club in San Jose. (BTW, it was only a coincidence that this Tournament occured a day before Spring VON and only 3 miles away.).
In any event, I slowed played pocket Kings (pretty close to the best starting hand). Because I didn't raise, the Big Blind stayed to see the flop. The flop comes 3, 7, J. I go all in with a pair of over cards. Wouldn't you know it, the Big Blind was 7-3 off-suit.
So, what's the lesson? "If you've got a monster hand, sometimes it's best not to slow play it." Is there a lesson to be translated into the world of IP? Maybe. Sometimes I think we should let the world know as soon as possible what we are capable of and not merely pretend to be another way of delivering what many have been doing, just replacement/substitute voice services.
Carpe Diem! Sieze the Day!...and the hand. :-)
