Re: Dead Man Drawing
"He checked. One thousandth of a second later, I moved a muscle. This caused him, one hundredth of a second after that, to move several. But barely. It was a tiny quiet little inadvertent hitch that he did. It screamed at me. What it said was, "I am folding when you bet."
A tenth of a second after he hitched, he realized what had happened, and he caught himself, and for the next entire second, he held still, like a teetering gymnast. Then, without moving his head, he looked his eyes up to me, to see if I saw, but I saw his look coming, and I was gone when he got there.
I had a secret."
This is why a division of the fora into Internet and B&M would have been better than the division into High Stakes and Medium Stakes. We can call it the Screaming Teetering Gymnast Observation.
