I want to write the best ever poker novel that's been
The deck is set. You have 21 ways to win the hand.
The jokers don't play, but trust me, they play.
"An honest man in poker can never lose a hand. An honest man in poker always never bluffs" said Rope to the Swede. The Swede giggled and bet. He had 77 The flip was 277
Rope said why are you laughing, I have 72
The Swede cracked up laughing. There was a bounty in play: win a game in no limit holdem with the worst equity against the range of all the cards in the deck, you get 20 bucks from each player. They were seven handed. And deep.
The Swede, as we call him, said "I don't Believe you have 72. If you are 72 I have QQ. I'm all in
"Rope pondered, and peeled one of his cards. Rope said, I told you, an honest man never bluffs. Show us your QQ.
The Swede, after smirking. He says, pay up the bounty you Finn, with Swede telling;do we get 40 each ? Roópe guffawed.
(it's worth noting rope, or roópe as he is also known by … was finnish - the swede, yes, swedish.)
The Finn looked him in the eye. He looked perturbed, curious and, in some ways, shocked. He said, I have QQ. But I am not an honest man. He sends the cards face down on the table for the Swede, to look at. Zebedee was the young swedish man's avatar on full tilt poker.
They both look at the dealer in the dingy backroom private game and collect what money they had left, and left. The man's name who ran the game was called .. Howard. And Howard's life was about to be drastically different.

I want to call it:ideas;
Why does time effect the numbers
Check check time raise fold
A skill based lottery
Or;
Only the top 25% win.
How'da bout that !!!
Actually this is private work I want it deleted until it's ready for press
Bluff.
So after being bamboozled by the 27 of clubs, roópe and Zebedee went out of the private game and up some stairs. They went to a high end restaurant and chatted about the game. 3 7s 42s and a few dealers choice pocket pairs (44,55 etc)
Howard sat there depleted. He wanted growth. He was kind with money to his employees. He was nicknamed the Labrador. He wasn't very good at maths. His acquaintance, Mo, Mo fungi (not a very gun guy, if you were interested in why..)
But yes, something was about to Change for lab. Cooking up a storm was another swedish superstar. But no-one knew his name. 4 tables of 2-7, 6 tables of no-limit, and 24 tables of 2plo (not 2k, not 20k) - literally 2 dollar poem.
He lost more hands then he won, but he still, over time, won.
You can win poker in three ways;
Evil gambler on a luck streak
Due diligence and hard work
Or; supreme gift and motivation.
Now.... Mo [it was rumoured he was ? "Mo-Limit" on full tilt, but that accolade goes to a Lithuanian who had a problem with bikes.
Now ..... Homer (yes, Homer) - not the d'oh one, durrr.
Chapter 2
Meanwhile in London, a man His full tilt avatar was PoisonV. He was watching that lion forest. A strange man who had similarities in his ability to not get fed up when people interrupt them eating.
This is a few years back from our swedish villains and Finnish hero. He was a young and upcoming prodigy, tutored by no other than Barry bear. First time in London. He lost 100k. Then another. Then another. Then he won two million on slots. Bingo!
We'll call Poison PI. He was incredibly switched on, but I don't know if back then he could count.
Barry bear said you can't count. Without missing a beat, pi said "Barry, if I can't count why am I up over 200,000 dollars this week?
And we'll, where do I fit in the deck?
I knew roópe & the Swede Zeb from the 50 4 card holdem streets. We battled back and forth.
Evil gambler on a luck streak - me
Due diligence and hard work - Swede
Or; supreme gift and motivation. The mighty roópe
One hand that will Always stick with me is when we had a click it back war, and it got to the point on A3345 with me holding AA and I checked the river. I genuinely thought he had 33. I was considering folding getting 20-1 odds. But I wanted the Info. So I called. He had A3. At a later date I realized when I met mighty roópe, he was laughing.
Meanwhile, a man name Joe who liked Chicago pizzas was having a a hard time adjusting to life as a full time pro. Are paths would later meet
Note: as we technically have 3.24 Phil's already, Phil Hull will be known as DevilFish from here on out
Great tournament. Touched hands with many old timers. Had the respect of Stu[RIP], considered the best. Terrible at cash games but he seems to somehow win. Rumour has it he's still convinced he'll take pi for 1.2 mega bucks in China.
He's a force of nature. 5 foot six, on a good day 200kg, and has no ego whatsoever.
And if there were two bullets in a Russian revolver, he'd dodge them
--------------------------------------
The kid was mates with devil bear and ivy. His talent in the bookmakers was beyond genius. That is all. I like to think him and Mike Sexton are in Alaska and talking

Nex scene
Young man no crutches. Cowboy hat. A grin that could send daughters to heaven. Now, Doyle and Chips would stay up Allllll night. Doyle would quiz chips. They'd think about hands. He had a beautiful wife and children. Todd; win another bracelet for Papa
Now, you have a grasp of me the Swede and the rolls
But what about chat?!? Should I speak?!? Should I wear glasses?? Yes, and no. Yes if you have poor sight, and no. If you want to intimidate.
See, poker isn't all maths and memory and solvers. You can find edges, if you search for them
Now, there's Mike Sexton lost in Alaska, and Mike the quiet mice.
Mike used to never talk. But when he found poker, he found comradery. And got done by a fed. I think he shoulda pleaded entrapment. But... He got some years for drinking too much Pepsi.
When he got out his character and friends with bullet dodging Chinese mega star, got him media attention. Without him it would have been a very boring million dollar show on London
Now Mikey, I believe, is more content and hosting a poker stream that tangoing at Omaha 8 or better (best high&low hand) (no, not better as in 9 or ten, its a hi lo split game)
And that leads to a man who likes digging holes and poking in jest. Yes, Polk, a great heads up NlHE player & a great character and personality for the community.
Now, Ben sauce 1248 (yes he likes red ketchup a bit too much .. . Stores reserves in his home in Canada .... Just in case!!! ) Battled Doug. Doug won, but Doug had time on his hands to study poker solvers and charts, and other boring ways of trying to numb your brain into missing the small tidbits. He met Sully, and Sully admitted Doug was the best poker player on the world.
into the wilderness and away from the screen
So at 19 yrs old I was bored. I had money. So did my mate - the swedish Zeb.
We had both had a desolate adolescence. I got little attention as I was allowed Internet freedom. But I had money.
Zeb had a brother with mental illness and raised by a single mother.
We played StarCraft alot with some mates of Zebs. I played Terran - a human race with advanced technology. I told the Swede - if I was a race in StarCraft, what would I be? He said Zerg. You just blitz rush every noob and time tank anxiety to regulars. I said you'd be Terran cos your human. He laughed and said no, I play protoss because I feel lonely.
Tapping out for now. Please give me advice or critiques. If it's cringe AF or needs editing that's cool. If >50% of people dislike or find poor taste, I will cease to write more.
Time bank
Durrrrrrrrr
Recalled my hand because it didn't cross the line. Technically still in play. I call 27 on 2277a
Bingo, he had kk???
Okay. Day 3 of cannabis related psychosis. Gonna ride this out and may be sporadic
If anything this is just self amusement to cope with a mistake. I refuse to give in.
When you say ride this out, you mean smoking more cannabis?
Or did you mean write this Story out?
I recommend to stop smoking weed, and see a doctor.
Tell him you are not a danger to others or yourself, and ask him to prescribe you Cariprazin regularly, plus some sleeping pills with anti anxiety effects for two weeks.
Within less than two weeks, you usually should be fine.
have you ever read a novel?
