That is getting closer and closer to a possibility in the area I live in. We’re in the first serious cold snap which is still autumn-like but moves your attention toward the white stuff. In the stud games I’ve been playing, snow has been around even through the July hot spells. It will happen in all type of poker of games though.You look at the flop or 5th street and see a pretty nice hand. At stud it might be a flush or straight. The other guy just paired that duce that was his door card with a horrid mishmash of other cards that never improve. At times the raising war will even include another snow blind guy. Often you’ll be grimacing and wondering as you help cap the round. It goes to showdown and you finish out of the money. How could this happen?
It is simple; we let the snow blind us. At limit, it ruins a session; at NL, it can run a day or the month. Whether you are a poker giant or fish, it will happen to you. The separator is frequency. If you are good and got snow blinded, you’ll usually get some WOWWWW!!! comments in the chat. If it is a Donkey versus Fish hand, you’ll get the chat tirade
