'That Was Pretty Sick'

I love Poker. Poker is a microcosm of life itself. As Anthony Holden wrote in his book 'Big Deal';

'Whether he likes it or not, a man's character is stripped bare at the poker table; if the other players read him better than he does, he has only himself to blame. Unless he is both able and prepared to see himself as others do, flaws and all, he will be a loser in cards, as well as life.'

If you have had a bad losing streak on the internet, if you have lost a couple of weeks running at your home game, hell - if you have had a bad day at the office - you need to watch this. I won't ruin the clip by telling you who wins the hand, but for the loser - one of the most experienced poker players of our generation - this is a BAD day at the office. This is the biggest ever televised cash pot. This is a secretary blows you out when you try and chat her up, manager calls you into his room, you get charged for sexual harassment day at the office:-

You get the picture. You're feeling better already, right? And no, I have never been charged for sexual harassment....
