Pascale's Wager

Everyone makes choices based on assessments of risk and reward. I accept that every choice I make is essentially a gamble with my life. How do we learn to make good decisions?

Beat: Busted in Mookie; Brag: Third in Dookie

I shoved, an attempt with my short stack and pocket sixes to isolate an early position all-in; I was hoping to see a high ace there. To my dismay, the big stack behind me pushed all-in too. Everybody's face up, and I'm looking at 77 and AA. Ooops. Ze timeeng eet ees no goot. An ignominious outage. So much for the big moooove.

I had also signed up for the Dookie, a turbo Razz fest with only 19 players, and managed to alternately brick and luckbox my way to the final three. I lurrrrrve Razz.

Variance: I'm now playing a tournament and pro Michael Craig is at my table. I just folded top two pair preflop. Poker is a cruel game.

I now understand how people hear me talking about optimizing socket code.
