View Full Version : The Rush of the Clueless...

In the Hold'em Wars you run across some creative thinking military leaders. The Indiana boat in East Chicago, which rarely sails, had a young miss who was commanding a substantial army of Chips. Dressed in military powder blue but red would have looked better on her. At first glance she looked like an aggressive savvy beast, who marched her Chips into battle for the glory of victory. Immediately crushing her enemies with pocket Kings and Aces was very impressive. However, first impressions can be deceiving, because monster hands really play themselves. The first sign of a lack of military savvy came when four callers entered the battle along with the small blind guy. She could have waved the dealer of destiny, to flop the cards. Instead, she decided to raise the stakes and now it was two extra red birds apiece for each army to enter the battlefield. When the smoke had cleared, she took many prisoners and showed her battle plan was an AJ double suited. She had hooked a single Jack on the flop that gave her the nut pair on the rivers edge. Being a cautious weak tight military leader himself, the SPM had mucked the nut full house before the battle had commenced.


It was raising with pocket duces from the same position ten battles later that identified her as a clueless Chip leader. Raising and winning with two ducks, from behind the blind, is a sure sign of a lucky rush, in the hands of the brain dead. Flopping an ace making a pair from early position in another battle, then losing to a small Mickey Mouse two pair, her true thought processes became known. She was rushing the battle field with her famous girl friend, Lady Luck. The powder blue miss became miffed that her Ax double suited did not march to victory at the river. Considering Ax a hand to release was obviously never considered.


Creative thinking may be over stating the thought process of these clueless military leaders. They never seem to understand why a rush of victories slips through their hands. They shake their heads in discuss! Make some absurd comment about how lucky the other moron was for catching the second little pair. Then with savage insanity they send their monster army of Chips into more hopeless battles. They never consider playing a rush is not a solid battle strategy and of course they never think the rush will end.


SPM,...let us pray they never look into a mirror and see the truth...
