One of the funniest things in poker, for me, is the “law of bad timing” — when you [I]really[/I] need to leave the table, but you can’t just sit out and leave your stack there. The “logical” option is to shove all-in, but of course you don’t want to do it with total garbage, so you pick some decent mid-range hands… even though the goal is just to bust and go. Poker players are strange creatures like that. In 2016, my wife had just given birth and later let me go play a live tournament at a local club. The game was going well, and I thought it would end around 2 a.m., but she called asking me to come home sooner. Since the buy-in wasn’t big, I told the table I’d shove every hand to finish quickly. Ironically, I won my first two all-ins, and everyone started joking that it was some genius table strategy. Eventually, I busted with a flush draw against the chip leader, wished everyone good luck, and managed to get home on public transport. Sometimes when you want to leave, poker just won’t let you go.
