Even when it doesn't make the best hand, it plays Jedi mind tricks on your opponents.

Yesterday I finally met Lee Jones, who is the director of communications for PokerStars, and author of the well-regarded Winning Low-Limit Hold'Em  (which Amazon helpfully informs me that I purchased on June 8, 2006). I say "finally" because I had learned from a mutual friend that he lived around Asheville. As a result, I had expected to bump into him a lot earlier, but he moved away around the same time that I was moving here from Vegas. He kindly reached out to me to say that he and some friends would be at Harrah's Cherokee Saturday, and would I like to join them? I would indeed, and I did. Delightful fellow, as I had expected based not only on his writings but on reports from others who know him. But I have to say, for somebody so steeped in the poker world, he has a shockingly poor grasp of the game's most powerful hands. The group of us split between two tables. Lee was at the other with a friend who was taking her first stab at casino poker. After a while, ...

I just came across this while browsing YouTube. If I've ever seen it before, I don't remember it.

Today I played in the seniors tournament at Harrah's Cherokee, part of the WSOP-C series. The Deuce-Four did more than its share of work for me in the first couple of hours. First time I had it, I raised, got a couple of callers, flopped a gutshot, and hit the wheel on the turn. Second time, I flopped a pair and a flush draw, raised the initial bettor, and won the pot. Third time was the big one--a full double-up. 2h-4h. I raised, got a couple of callers, flopped a flush, busted a guy with the same size chip stack who had flopped top pair/top kicker. And finally, I must report that I overheard somebody at the table behind me saying, at one point, "I folded deuce-four. I woulda made the nuts." Some people are just too dumb to play poker right! I made the money. There were 513 entries, 54 got paid. I finished in 33rd place for $530. Shoved my last 9 big blinds with AJ in late position, called by the big blind with A-10. Flop was 10-10-5, and that was all she wrote. If not f...

...even when it's the worst possible hand! 

From the same tournament as the previous post: Finished up in third place, $76.

It's been quite a while since I wrote about the Mighty Deuce-Four, so I thought I'd tell you that it's still working. I just played this hand in a HORSE tournament: Of course I made a flush. And of course it beat the other guy's straight. LDO.

I played an online tournament today for the first time in about 18 months. The first time I was dealt The Mighty Deuce-Four, I called a pre-flop raise. We saw this excellent flop: The only question here is whether the turn will be an ace for a 5-high straight, or a 6 for a 6-high straight. Right? So Player 72 bets more than I have. I call all-in. Obviously. And the turn was an ace. Of course. Got this hand locked up tight as a drum. Until something went terribly, terribly wrong. I'm reeling. I don't understand how something like this can happen.
