There are certain moments in your life where you know you just can’t lose. Calling an all in bet with pocket aces and seeing your opponent flip up AKo is one of those moments. According to PokerStove, aces are a 93% favorite to win the hand. With odds like that I’ve not only counted the money I’m about to make but I’ve already gone online and started buying stuff.
Even when the QJx hits on the flop, I’m still an 83% favorite. Of course, I’m up against Katkin so I start cancelling my purchases as a bead of sweat rolls off my forehead.
Turn is a ten! WTF?!?
How in the hell does Katkin always come from behind to win? I mean, it’s not like he wins coin flips or even a 60/40’s. He climbs the Mt. Everest of statistical challenges and emerges victorious every time.
This isn’t possible! No one man can be this lucky. So, I decided to find the secret to Katkin’s unbelievable luck. I waited outside in the bushes around Henry’s apartment and when Katkin went out to his car, I chloroformed him and dragged him into an alley where I had a portable x-ray machine ready to go (got a good deal on it at eBay). What you see below is the result.
That is, in fact, a lucky horse shoe burried in Katkin’s ass.
So let that be a lesson to you kids. Even if you have a royal flush against Katkin’s offsuit seven-gapper, anything is possible. Your cards could touch the muck. A second ace of spades could hit the table forcing a misdeal. Anything!

Hi, my name is Bill Rini and this is my poker blog. I've been blogging about poker and the poker industry since around 2003-ish. Like most people I started out playing poker as entertainment in home games whenever we wanted to sit around and smoke cigars, drink beer, and eat pizza, and needed a good excuse. I started playing online shortly after the first online card rooms opened and it wasn't long before I was playing 20, 30, or even 40 hours a week or more. One day I received a phone call about a program manager position at Tiltware which was the company that consulted to Full Tilt Poker on software development and marketing. After Tiltware I spent about 2.5 years working at Party Poker where I was the poker room manager.

Heh. Fucking Katkin.
What did I say after last week Bill?
Funny fucking post. And yeah, I know… fucking Katkin.
That’s gonna require surgery. Will we have to send Katkin money like we did BG?
Good read, that, thanks Bill :)
