Good Luck

No, this is not another post on how I lost to donkeys blessed with exceptionally good luck on the river to overcome 19-to-1 longshots.

I was in a tournament yesterday (I rarely play tournaments) and was sitting next to a solid player that was about tied with me for chip leader.

He goes all-in.

I am out of the hand and wished him good luck.

This player sat on my right and was heads-up on the flop with someone on my left.

“HE is the one that needs the luck!” this player forcefully said. “He has 14 outs and 12 nervous twitches!”

I could not help but laugh.

I thought the speech was brilliant.

This sign of strength got his opponent to fold what was probably the best hand.
