Smelling a Rat
Ratholing is one of the more hated behaviors at a poker table, and it is normally now found only online. It is when a player sits at a table (often short-stacked), takes down a big pot, then quickly leaves the … Continue reading
Restless Nights
It was a long, restless night for me, my laptop warming my lap as poker became my stress outlet. It is normally a symptom of bigger issues in my psyche when we pass the 3:00AM mark, and I’ve done it … Continue reading
