I was just playing Downtown Texas Hold’em on my Razr. The game essentially has you playing at the final table of several different tournaments. You play your spot and the program plays the other four spots. I had just entered a new one, which meant that each player had an equal amount of cash ($200k). I think I was in third position and started with 10-8 off-suit. I put in the initial bet of $6k. Everyone stayed in for the flop, which came out 7-9-J off-suit, meaning I had flopped a jack-high straight. Figuring I had pretty good odds, I went All-In and everyone called. Sure enough, I won and wiped out the entire table on the first hand.<\/p>\n
Why can’t I have hands like that in real life?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
