Message: [QUOTE="Dorugremon, post: 4919607, member: 94033"] As for recreational weed/alcohol and Poker, I'm all in favor of it when my opponents are doing it. Doyle turned into an old nit because he couldn't adjust to changing circumstances. You want people playing irrationally, the more, the better. That's where the money comes from: the fish. Your regulars may not be winning, but they're still regulars because they're not going busto as fast as the fish. Maybe they have to redeposit every other month as opposed to every payday. The decisions fish make defy explanation, but all you need to do is play straight up ABC Poker, nothing fancy required. You will make better decisions, have range and position advantage, and you will do better than they do. They'll do silly things, show you plenty of white blackbirds, take a stack now and then with a hand they couldn't possibly have, but do. That's what keeps them coming back and back to lose a whole lot more over the years. They'll remember that "big night" for the next 20 years, and forget all the little nights when they lost. Someone so lushed he can barely remain upright at the table can win and win and win. Way, way, way more often they lose. Lady Luck will tire of carrying you sooner or later, and probably sooner. Happens at games other than Poker. A few years ago, it happened at Blackjack: some drunk who could do no wrong: won nearly every bet, including the rip-off house proposition bets for $1000 maximums. Won some $250,000+ before passing out colder than a mackerel. Security poured him into a bed at the hotel, and the next morning, he remembered none of what happened the previous night at the tables. Strange things happen, but these are statistical outliers. Eventually, someone hits lottery jackpots too. [/QUOTE]
