A few of us plaxors have started a weekly poker night. From the trash talking, to the bluffing that you’re bluffing (or are you?), to the gut wrenching all-in moments, it’s a very fun diversion. I could tell you about the time Michael’s flush got beat by Mark’s full house, or when Ryan doubled up with quad jacks on the very first hand, or when my 9-6 beat Mark’s 9-7 in an all-in battle for first place. And that’s only from the first three weeks.
There has been some debate about how constructive the game of poker really is. I think it actually reinforces some useful skills. You can talk about bluffing, betting, and pot odds all day, but when it comes down to it, poker is a game about decision making. The best poker players are the ones who can gather the most information and make the best decisions based upon it. Can that be applied outside of poker? My bet is yes.
