Playing Poker the right way

Posted: Feb 28, 2007 Wed 12:45 pm     Views: 90   

People – as a semi-professional poker player, I would like to introduce some rules of poker which I think are good for every player (regardless of their status).
1. Never play 2-7 unless you are in Big Blind and there is no raise….
2. Look around the table and spot the sucker in the first 10 minutes. If you don’t see one then you are the sucker (The Rounders – movie)
3. Don’t preach religion to the poker players. They seem to mind that thing when they are trying to bluff you…
And FINALLY
4. DON’T EVER SELL YOUR DAUGHTER TO SATISFY YOUR OWN DEBT…
Reasons:
• No matter what the other person says, it will never hold up in court.
• No matter how bad you are feeling, it is nothing compared to how your wife and daughter will be feeling once they find out.
• A person who can accept your daughter instead of the money you owe him is not a nice enough person to take care of your daughter.
So people of Pakistan - please stop selling your daughters to satisfy your gambling, drinking, and other “oh-so-important debts” and start taking responsibility. Secondly if you have to sell someone then sell yourself. Be their servant for the rest of your life but don’t throw your daughter in hell.
