That is right. I have a new title.
Some of you know of my prowess on the felt- but you may not be aware of my primary skill. 42. A game of skill, luck, and reads- just like poker.
I competed in BD Riley’s 4th 42 championship yesterday and was able to pull out a victory when my partner (it is a rotating partners tournament) went 3 marks nelo made it. Good times. For my effort I was able to secure my name on the trophy, a championship belt, and a toaster.
As for the title. Well, our universe (little ‘u’) has a more restricted definition than normally expected.
Got absolutely shellaced at poker this weekend. Bad run, bad play (on my part), at Mookie’s. Just plastered on the cash tables on Stars. No love.
New worst hand for me: AJ. First hand: Hit top pair. The other guy hit his 3 outer with A-10 on the river to sink me. Second time: Hit my J on the flop. Lost to QQ. The first hand I knew he hit it. Just a sickening feeling. The 2nd one- I just priced myself into the hand and didn’t hit my miracle on the turn or river to suck out.
I think I will stick to the bones.
That is why A-J is known as “The Devil’s Hand”. Fear it.
