Doug taught me how to play poker. It started with him playing for fun, online, and me watching him. He finally let me try a game, all the while giving me bits of advise that sounded like this:
"Blah, blah, pot odds, blah, blah, something or other percent, blah, blah"
And, of course, I replied:
"It's ok - I use intuition - I can just tell when someone is bluffing me".
This went fine for quite a while - we would take turns playing and Helping each other out. Well, at least until I started Helping him out - something along the lines of:
"I knew that was going to happen" or "Why on earth would you have done that, couldn't you just feel that was wrong????"Yeah, well now I play upstairs in my own office, on an entirely different site - I don't think Doug wants to chance us being in the same room or on the same table EVER.
But we did both enrol in a one day poker seminar taught by Annie Duke (the most famous woman poker player, EVER). She is amazing! This is what she says:
“Poker is about the math”.
Wow! – how amazing! Nobody has ever put it to me like that before.
What? When? You did? Of course I was listening to you, Doug.
