Ah so. As Chuang Tzu wrote in Cracking the Safe
Quote:
Who is there, among those called smart,
Who does not spend his time amassing loot
For a bigger robber than himself?
...
A poor man must swing
For stealing a belt buckle
But if a rich man steals a whole state
He is acclaimed
As statesman of the year.

No HH allowed here, but I thought this was quite amusing.

BTN: $17.29
SB: $10.00
BB: $13.56
UTG: $9.92
Hero (MP): $10.00
CO: $10.54
Pre Flop: ($0.15) Hero is MP with 9
A
1 fold, Hero raises to $0.35, 3 folds, BB raises to $0.60
It's a position raise. I call it.
Hero calls $0.25
Flop: ($1.25) 9
3 A
(2 players)
I just got top two pair on the flop, and I want to keep him in the hand. Against your average guy, I'd set a bear trap, hardly bet at all.
Let him walk into it. But KGB's too smart for that. So, what I've got to do is over-bet the pot, make it look like I'm trying to buy it.
BB checks, Hero bets $0.70, BB calls $0.70
My guess is Teddy's on a flush draw.
Turn: ($2.65) 9
(2 players)
There's my money card, nine of hearts. I got a full house. Check's good.
BB checks, Hero checks
Now I hope a club falls and Teddy makes his flush.
That way he'll bet strong, and I'll beat him with my nines full over aces.
River: ($2.65) K (2 players)
BB bets $2.65, Autist has requested TIME,
I want him to think that I'm pondering a call, but all I'm really thinking about is Vegas and the ****ing Mirage. "All right, your 2.65 plus I have another 6.05 to raise you. Um... Yeah, I'm gonna go all in, 'cause I don't think you got the spades".
Hero raises to $8.70 all in
BB calls $6.05
"You are right. I don't have spades."
"I know before the cards are even turned over."
Final Pot: $20.05
BB shows A A (a full house, Aces full of Nines)
Hero shows 9 A (a full house, Nines full of Aces)
And you know what? It wasn't a bad beat.
I wasn't unlucky.
I got outplayed. I got outplayed that time.
But I know I'm good enough to sit at that table.

You'd hardly know the author has been dead for 2,300 years. Puts the timeless in timeless wisdom. I'm partial to Thomas Merton's translation myself, who was wise in his own right..

I wonder if Bernie Madoff ever dreams that he is a butterfly, but I don't imagine any butterfly ever dreams that he is Bernie Madoff.
