Intense bursts of beats at the end of the damn game, and then even afterwards.
No wonder I’m a little paranoid about last hands of a session lately. Joint was closing. Heads up battle, PLO. This is the second “one more hand.” I flop top set and a straight draw, turn the nut flush draw. Guy isn’t going away. Board on turn A-K-7-10, two diamonds. I’m Ad-Ah-Jd-10s. Last hand scenario/situation/mentality. River comes a jack off-suit, worst card possible and dude shoves. Dude had shown me 3 cards earlier and got me to call with a loser, never happened to me before. It worked because I thought I was way stronger than he thought I was. Anyway, can’t call the last hand on river, pretty sure I had 37 wins and he had 3. River is the off-suit J, so I have the ridiculous top set and 3 pair with 4 parts to a straight on the board. I”m reduced to folding with that hand heads up. Jeez.
Go to Walmart. Nobody in the store except me and young dame with 700 things overflowing out of a cart. All the self-pay aisles closed. One checkout lane open. Soon as i saw that cart I knew she would beat me to the checkout by about 5 seconds.
Good read. She beat me to the checkout by five seconds, didn’t offer to let me play thru with my little hand basket. She has stamps for $192, but the price is over a little so has to go thru items kicking some out. Then she is buying remainders with cash but didn’t have enough and started kicking things out there too. I took it well. I wish in retrospect I had offered to buy the extras for her. Total respect, not showy. Lots of people aren’t good at making money but they are still to be respected. This society puts way too much emphasis on finances. I had a chance to help but didn’t think of it. We should all keep our eyes open for such chances. Not the bogus paying for somebody’s shyt and McDonalds and then somebody making an internet meme about it, but actually helping someone’s life.
But it was that last hand and then the read of the situation in the grocery. Seems kind of voodooish. You know what I mean? Thanks for reading, most especially Mike/Chuck and AlwaysFolding (if they aren’t the same person … such an amazing duo hard to believe they aren't
).
