Always love to play a big tournament and always love a break to decompress. Maybe it doesn’t hit others the way they hit me, but mentally (as strong as I sometimes think I am mentally) a big long drawn out poker tournament, with the usual ups and downs, just wears me out.
Friends Linda Johnson and Jan Fisher asked me to speak to their Wednesday afternoon Poker Group. I’ve been to the group before, always a good crowd, but rarely get to attend because it is right when school is getting out. We had a lively discussion and a few hand discussions. At the end, out in front of the restaurant, with it pouring down rain, a nice man said to me “Your comments sure are on point, wish you could attend every week.” I thanked him and told him it created a problem because they met right when my children were getting out of school. “Drag them along, we’ll give them some pie and a coloring book”, which made me laugh out loud.
