so I'm chatting with arkady about our hatred for the Yankees and we come to a conclusion...
Derek Jeter is like QJo, and specifically the crappy QJo, Q /images/graemlins/club.gifJ /images/graemlins/diamond.gif. it seems good when you know nothing about the game, but when you realize what's going on, you realize it's a piece of [censored]. it has all those worthless intangibles, and occasionally does something pretty good, like make a broadway straight. but in general it needs to get lucky and flop a boat to have any value, but even Roger Cedeno or 7 /images/graemlins/club.gif2 /images/graemlins/heart.gif could do that.
so please, the next time you pick up QJo, or see Derek Jeter on TV, don't mistake it for something with value, because it's clearly -EV
(and yes, this is a topic related to small stakes hold'em)
