Nope. They were all given to him as gifts.huck Norris bought all of the Harrah’s Cherokee T1000s from the gift shop.
The old man that Ive been playing with for 10 years is a very mediocre player. In fact, he misreads his own hands so much, it could be said he is a BELOW AVERAGE PLAYER , yet he consistently wins big money in our local games and he most certainly is not the best player in the game. There are at least 4 other players who are better then him. This phenomena can only be explained by the old mans above average run of luck. From a skill perspective and mathematically, the old man should be a losing player . He also has the incredible scenario that when he hits his big winning hands , there are other players in the hand that make big hands, to pay him off . In other words, it is good luck to hit quads and full houses, but it isnt very beneficial unless you get other players tied up in the hand, to also have big hands and pay you off. This is yet another part of the good luck factor, that most people do not think about.
fallacious
I once flopped quads with 33 middle position in an unraised pot with 4 players playing $1/2NL at Borgata. People were paying pretty loose all night. It gets checked to me, I checked it, and it checked around. Turn card gets checked to me and I bet $6. Everyone folds and I win the blinds
Biggest lie in poker?
Wife - "how'd you do last night"
Me - " About even"
how can a old man , who plays recklessly , loosely and lacks poker skills, continue to beat a pot limit poker game for 10 years or more ?
I played up the "awe shucks" newb player when I was younger. It worked out nicely. Everyone thought I was just lucky. I even "mis-read" my hand a few times, and slow rolled with apologies. I would even buy rounds of drinks for the table, playing the "I'm just here to have a good time" line.
In my local poker game which we ran for 10 years now. We kept track of all results and they are almost exactly to the strength of each player
I prefer to call it the Theory of Maturing Chance.Just throwing this out there...as stated, “luck” (or any other randomness variable) does not even out over time. That’s literally the gamblers fallacy...there is a streak of reds so blacks are due to get back to the correct 50/50 distribution.

You see why it is difficult to have a serious and clam discussion with people like yourself ?
I doubt he's coming back, fellas.
