On the Omaha (Poker) road to Ace

So, as I said in my previous post, I have a new delicious game going on around the block. This game is full of tightass monkeys who do not even have the slightest clue about playing poker and winning money. They are beautiful birdies ripe for Adam’s picking. The first night I was a guest at their house, I pretended I was also just new at poker. And I let them feel that I thought they were quite experienced. I also made some idiot moves, listened to their advice, and when I made a good move, I concealed it in a mix of ‘luck’ and randomness.

As in a lot of other areas in life, this false first impression may last for weeks, months. Even if I do not keep it up anymore and play like a real pro, their opinion of me might still stay unchanged, at least for a significant amount of time.

This first evening, I lost maybe some 5 dollars, and gave it a twist that I was really lucky and next time I would bring more money to lose, ‘since I had to learn so much more from them’. I was an instant hit and they quickly invited me for more, lets see what that will bring.
