I just made it. Just made the top five of forty-nine and made it into the prizes.

My last outing I won with four of a kind. This time around I lost to four of a kind. Some similarities. I had an Ace-King suited, almost no choice but to call a heads up all-in. I faced again a King-10. Three tens came down, though it was a good call. The odds were in my favor.

I find every deck has its own attributes. Last night many three of a kind came up early, to the disgruntlement of many. Later, two pair became dominant. I was at a Omaha hi-lo game at the casino some time ago and four of a kind was prominent for some time.

I never read or heard anything about rhythms of a deck; the dynamics of a shuffle. Perhaps it is mere coincidence. But it is something I pay attention to, out of simple experience.

I lost big before winning big last night. I made some bad calls and very poor pushes. I was not feeling on my game but it worked out. You can find in previous posts examples of my winning big and then losing big on similar hands, often losing to a hand I had recently won with.

Enjoy a good story where men play poker? I would be very appreciative if you would purchase my books, appropriately priced for Kindle. They are also available free with Amazon Prime or Kindle Unlimited. In “Chuck Hammer and the Invisible Squadron; A Vendetta’s Wage” there are four Aces, and they all play poker.
