Not all mistakes are made by accident. Some are intentional. This is true in the following example: t f from Lou, ' a lady' Romania, is blonde, intellibeautiful gent, and dresses like a supermodel. Her most remarkable trait is her ability to play Texas Hold Em. I consider her one of the top card assassins at any given table. You can see the gleam in her eye when she bluffs you out of a pot or just plain beats you hands down. In this qualifier game I had taken out two of the players. A player to my right had taken out another two. This gave- us a hefty chip stack of around 56,000 chips. At this point Lou began to , fun-hearte- d, - she attends and a home telephone number.

A Texas Hold Em By: Dennis E. Johnson Jr. 'T1 raise the pots by 5,000 each time she played a hand. She was playing about 80 percent of the hands being dealt. On at least two occasions she showed her hands to reveal the bluffs she had made which was a strategic move on her part to try to get us to play more recklessly. Pre Flop: At a point in the game as I was on the button. Lou made her usual raise of 5,000 chips, everyone folded up to me and I was holding an unsuiied 'Ace, Jack. I called her 5,000 raise as these were cards that I could play at that raise amount. The Flop: On the flop the cards came up Ace, Queen, Queen. Lou was the first to act and act she did by going all in for 44,500 in chips. There are four possible actions in this move she could make in conjunction with her earlier raise. One, she has a straight draw and is trying to buy the pot. Two, she is holding a pocket pair and thinks she is ahead in the hand. Three, she is holding a third queen which would put her ahead in the hand. Three, had seen her hand after hich would put her ahead in mucking his. He just couldn't resist the hand or four, she is holdis and Ace an showing the fourth card and just playing ing slid the top Queen. With to create action at the table. chance of As a skilled player, I put only a Aces runner a runner, her holding the third queen getting nver and the on turn (which With her the set. my giving didnt happen), I had pretty two pair, the best I could much landed into a disaster. havis for this at point hope in show another ace My intentional mistake cost up ing me quite a few chips which the community cards or getwould become important in runner a runner, king, ting the next hand... ten for the straight.

I had nothing to lose. Knowing that and the fact that I was behind, I called her All IN which still left me with 12,500 in chips. The Results: We each showed our cards but Lou hid one of her cards behind the three. The card she was showing was indeed the third Queen. I wasnt going to have her show the other card as she was in the lead at this point. It really didnt matter, but her boyfriend Chris . ii li (playing at the same table) she is holding a third queen w one-perce- nt .Ll probably shouldnt think so much. All I do is get myself worked up and cause my appetite to increase. Oh well, here are some thoughts I had: CLASS- Have you noticed how rare class is in pro sports? Very few of the superstars have any. A little success on the field or the court and suddenly they become classless. Their fat wallets seem to cause a lack of humanity. As it is written, You cant buy class. A free lunch: It has been said, There is no such thing as a free lunch. This is not true. Every day at school, I hang with stufree dents, who get lunch. How do you know which ones they are? are the ones with They tattoos, the body piercing and the name You can brand clothing. tell them by their also and cell headphones y kind the are phones-theFree that have pictures. lunch is back. A train wreck: Do you whose know anybody a resembles train lifestyle wreck? Some people go through life tempting fate every minute. John Daly, the golfer, he of the long dnve and the direction like an eggbeater; cant wait to get off the wagon; lost of talent and no discipline. He spends every day cultivating the seeds of Rights and Privilege: The world is full of folks who demand their rights. Many of those rights are not rights at all. They are privileges. Like a driver's license, or an education. It is a privilege to be on the school team. A higher standard: We hold our heros to a higher A teacher standard. should be a model. A coach should be someone Barry you can imitate. Bonds shouldnt let us down like that. Dont pretend one thing and be another. Dont say Look at me and when we look, we find flaws. When are we going to hold officials to a higher standard? ed , Says: Until I the Jazz play, I know you could be a pro player and earn millions of dollars and not be able to make a free throw.
