Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010The great central conflict of poker comes in the idea of the solid, pocket, made hand and the one that is drawing. Who will win the coin flip race? Will the open-ended straight draw hit one of its eight outs to suck out on the pocket queens? In the random redistribution of shuffling the 52 cards, there is such an array of outcomes. This is what makes poker such an electrifying and obsession-based game, resulting in so many poker shows you can hardly turn on any channel these days without running into Chris Ferguson or Phil Ivey or whatever new phenom internet professional poker players are making their way to the top winning seats from online satellite poker tournaments as and ending up on the ESPN.
