It was in the Senior Event (that’s right, everyone there was at least in their fourth year of high school) during the 2005 36th Annual World Series of Poker at the Rio Casino in Las Vegas. 825 players entered this event, but at this point in the tournament, there were only 50 players left.

This is how casinos make money; they have a mathematical advantage on every game on the floor. While anyone on any given day can beat the odds if they are lucky, over time the luck factor disappears and the house will make what the math dictates. Some games are better than others, but how do you know unless you know the math?

These are the things to look for: Is the board paired? (A full house and quads are only possible if the board is paired.) Are the cards all the same suit? (A flush is only possible if there are three cards of the same suit on the board or if you’re near a toilet—sorry, I’ll try to be serious.) How wide is the gap between the cards? (If the gap is wider than two cards between each card, a straight is not possible.)

Knowledge is power in poker. If you play the way I tell you to, you will not be playing very many hands so you will have time to do the most important part of poker: GATHER INFORMATION. (How much was in the pot when he called? What odds was the pot laying him? Did he fold to a small raise? Did he overtip the cocktail waitress?)

So, what do we need to do in order to gather information? PAY ATTENTION. (For those of you who answered, "Overtip the cocktail waitress," you’re my kind of folks.)

"Quit playing poker forever right now and I'll give you a pot of gold

The player replied, "Let me get even first."
