It was a cleverly disguised spammer who started this thread!

I was tickled to death with all of your response posts!

Love your collection of true quotes, mirrors! That is what my poker teaching is based on.

Before I begin...what I write here is only to share some of my experiences and in no means to disrepect anyone at PC - especially Guru and his lessons regarding "luck"....

I was 8 yrs old...and my mom was at the lottery booth buying a Wintario ticket (for those living in Ontario, Canada - this was "THE" lottery ticket before Lotto 6/49 came out)...well..when the attendant took out the board with all the tickets....I stretched out and told my mom "This one!"...laughing she told me that she will buy me my own ticket...and so she bought me the ticket I had pointed at. The ticket hit for 5 out of 6 plus the bonus symbol - $10000. I totally forgot about it until graduation when I was presented with savings bonds that had matured by 10 years.

Panasonic - I was 10...and started collecting the little plastic things under the caps of Coca-Cola's - I got all the letters to spell out PANASONIC and won a Panasonic Stereo and TV set.

Took $500 to Casino Windsor - on the first day came home with $9000....5 days later came back...brought only $500 again...turned it into $52000. The Casino put up my friend and I for a couple of nights...and so on the 2nd night....won another $36000. We stayed for almost a good 2 1/2 months - hotel accomodations and all meals comped ($300/day) - received gift certificates to shop - a nice watch for my birthday - golf passes - all paid for by the casino.

Now here's a poker one I have to write about...

Playing in a friend's basement - 6 players playing..about 10 in total just sitting around and watching. I was dealt a 7 5 off. I looked at the cards...and immediately turn to a friend who was watching behind me...showed him the cards and told him..see these cards..I'm gonna win. Obviously he thought I was joking and laughed. I looked at him..and said "I'm serious...I'm gonna win." He shrugged me off with a "Whatever"...sure enough I call the blind...a player short stacked goes all in, another player calls...I call. Flop K 10 7...player bets...I raise....he re-raises...I call. Turn card is a 5. Player bets...I go all-in. Player has pocket K's...short stack player has pocket A's...I have my 7 5. Everyone in room started laughing..and call me crazy....I looked at my friend..he was shaking his head. Then the river card was opened - 5. Full house - to take down the house! My friend....he fell out of his chair in total disbelief...laughing uncontrollably...finally I was able to get in a "see...told ya."

I have more stories...more for later

I have this chinese middle name given to me by my grandfather - Sioe-Gie - my mom always told me it meant "lucky"; even though no one has ever heard of it or can confirm it with me.

I don't always win...but when I do...it's usually significant and to win as many "significant" times as I have...that would be considered lucky..no?

but let it be known...Guru and I have come to an agreement to not call it luck but call it "The Force" Flex

Oops...Player had AK not pocket K's..I would have lost...LOL!

Kid, you are simply fascinated with this topic. aren't you? Why don't you want to take some credit for playing the good play instead of giving Luck all the credit for your many wins?

BUT - When I talk about Luck being worthless, I am speaking of nothing EXCEPT POKER!

We have all been convinced beyond the shadow of a doubt NOT to count on luck! I actually have numerous experiments to prove it - not a few incidental happenings.

ANYWAY - My biggest statement to you is this: THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS IN LIFE TO ANY RULE ---- but don't forget the word EXCEPTIONS!

Meantime ..... may the force be with you!!!

Your Guru
