Geek gambling.
May 26th, 2004
A Slashdot article even my brother will read: this discussion of the geekier side of poker has exploded into a great thread about casinos, statistics, and other aspects of gambling, such as when to hit the poker tables:
I found the best time was afternoons – the locals are gone, and the sharks are still sleeping it off, leaving you and a lot of really stupid people. That’s when I did really well. It helps when some moron will take 2-7 unsuited all the way to the river in Hold ‘em. It happened to me, it was great. You can’t lose.
(Oh, and I totally remember this, too. On the one hand, what a classic! “Where time becomes a loop.” On the other hand, what a ridiculous amount of storage space in my brain is wasted on television…)
