The eventual loser can see his fate two hours before it actually happens, and usually quits upon seeing the writing on the wall, so the winner almost never gets to enjoy his victory. And forget hoping for a comeback - every lucky roll for the underdog only delays the inevitable. <BR/><BR/>And that's when my dad decided that I was old enough to learn how to play poker.Scottyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12837361505534305694noreply@blogger.com
