[The once and future king]

At least they didnt ask you how much did you win this summer.

I get annoyed by this. In Pub friday night. Some very casual aquintance who knows I play poker: "How much did you win today?" I answer with some figure "Wow the beers are on you then."

As though the fact that I had won is some act of blind luck and not having just sat in front of a computer grinding it out for 8 hours and having endured streaks of death etc during the preceding days that the quoted win has just adjusted to my normal ROI.
