A good poker player will also fold, even with a good hand, if the pot isn't large enough to compensate him for the percentages of the win/loss ratio. I have spent an hour researching a race and then passed it because I couldn't come up with a clear choice. I made a profit at the race track because I was careful and considerate about it. I would sooner trust myself in the hands of a poker player than a crap shooter.<br><br>Thank you for this entry Beth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9098209577865673818.post-11534983638322413372008-07-09T16:53:00.000-07:002008-07-09T16:53:00.000-07:00Yes, I was a doubter on that Time entry of Ken'...Yes, I was a doubter on that Time entry of Ken's. I live about 1 1/2 hrs from Atlantic City & used to visit often enough at one time to make a personal assessment of the folks I went with, different ones at different times, & I didn't think that sort of environment showed their true nature. I tended to see (along with Disney, Great Adventure, all LET US ENTERTAIN YOU places) more led to mischief behavior, let loose mentality. Also most of the people I went with played different things accordinging to the amount of money & time they had, which differed with each visit to an extent. My most cautious friend "IRL," as opposed to casino life, tended to be very wild, spendy & flirty if she had a bit of extra time & a nice amount of cash on her & she also played high risk then. I don't think she'd run the country that way, but since she is a Green voter, I doubt she'll ever get the chance. ~MaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9098209577865673818.post-10475329522367041822008-07-09T17:40:00.000-07:002008-07-09T17:40:00.000-07:00You are Aces in my book :o)You are Aces in my book :o)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
