Secrets of Poker #7

[Yerma]

Hi, I have a question for those of you who play with me on Paradise.

I went broke the other day. Like flat-broke. Here was the problem. I like to play 4-8 live once in a while, which means not on the internet but at the casino. So I took a bankroll which was about $14000 in money orders to a casino and I put it on the table. Then some local village idiot says he needs more chips and he has some money stashed away at the casino (which seems like a good idea now). Actually he had a lot of money stashed away.

So the hand came up with me and the village idiot. In the end, the board was 5h6h8h2cAd. I had the 7h9h and I go all in with the village idiot. Well, he flips up the Ah7h and I flip over the 7c9c. Apparently, I didn't know what cards I was actually holding and I lost a big pot.

But the thought occurred to me: how come he knew his nut flush beat what could have been a straight flush? Well with that much money on the table, the answer was obvious. He hired a casino dealer and marked the cards!

So I now have my computer, my appartment, 5 cans of Campbells "Chunky"-style soup and my car but no money. And I need a stake in the 0.50-1.00 game online. Listen, it was an honest mistake and could have happened to just about anyone! The stake I need is on the order of $45.75 which I have calculated is my maximum liklihood indicator that I will make a living at 0.50-1.00. If I cannot pay you back the stake, you can have my car and one (1) can of "Chunky"-style soup. It is a 1999 year model and you will like it, but I promise to pay you back with 50% interest very soon (by next Tuesday).
